Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date, a higher rating for right hand arthritis, and entitlement to TDIU prior to January 11, 2019.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had filed a formal or informal claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder within one year of his separation from active duty in June 1959, and there was no other basis to establish entitlement to an earlier effective date.
