Granted
The Veteran's claim for a TDIU was granted with an effective date of March 23, 2020, and the claims for DEA benefits and a higher rating for anxiety disorder were also granted with the same effective date.
The deciding factor: The record shows that the Veteran has been unable to secure and maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities since at least March 23, 2020, which is the appropriate effective date for these benefits.
