Denied

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for TDIU and DEA benefits, finding no new and material evidence within one year of prior denials.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of new and material evidence to support a claim for TDIU or DEA benefits before December 10, 2020.
