Denied
The appeal for an earlier effective date for a TDIU was denied as the evidence did not establish that the Veteran's disability rendered him unemployable during the one-year period prior to his claim.
The deciding factor: The increase in disability necessary to warrant an earlier effective date was not factually ascertainable within the one-year period preceding the November 9, 2022, claim.
