Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as it was not factually ascertainable prior to May 21, 2018.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the schedular criteria for TDIU prior to May 21, 2018, and his disability that rendered him unemployable (panic disorder) was not service-connected until that date.
