Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date prior to April 22, 2016 for TDIU and the claims for a rating in excess of 30 percent for a right shoulder disability and an effective date prior to April 22, 2016 for a 30 percent rating for a right shoulder disability were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's right shoulder disability met the criteria for a higher rating or earlier effective date within the relevant timeframes.
