The Board denied the Veteran's claim for revision of the December 2019 rating decision, in which an effective date of March 22, 2018, was assigned for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU), on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The deciding factor: The Board found that CUE was not committed by the AOJ in the assignment of the effective date for the TDIU rating, as there was no evidence to support a different outcome.
