Denied
The Board denied the claims for an earlier effective date, a higher rating for narcolepsy, and TDIU prior to February 23, 2018.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's assertions that his disability warranted a higher rating or an earlier effective date, and it was factually ascertainable that he was unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment within one year of his TDIU application.
