Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an effective date earlier than June 30, 2016, for Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU) because there was no factually ascertainable increase in the severity of his service-connected disabilities during the relevant period.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a factually ascertainable increase in the severity of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities from November 28, 2015 to June 29, 2016.
