Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date prior to July 1, 2023 for the award of a total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no evidence of continuous pursuit or new and relevant evidence within one year prior to the July 1, 2023 claim, thus denying an earlier effective date.
