Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for service connection for coronary artery disease (CAD) and a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) due to CAD alone prior to September 9, 2013.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date as the Veteran's claim for compensation was not received between May 3, 1989, and August 31, 2010, and the later of the date entitlement arose or the date a claim was received is September 9, 2014.
