Denied
The appeal for an earlier effective date than April 26, 2021 for the grant of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities was denied.
The deciding factor: There was no pending, unadjudicated TDIU claim before the April 26, 2022 increased rating claims, and thus an earlier effective date is not permitted as a matter of law.
