Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of May 26, 2022, for the award of a 100 percent disability rating for service-connected bipolar disorder and dismissed the claim for entitlement to TDIU as moot.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated an increase in severity of the Veteran's service-connected bipolar disorder during the year prior to May 26, 2023, which is the appropriate effective date for the award of the 100 percent rating.
