Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of TDIU, finding no evidence that the Veteran became unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment as a result of his service-connected disabilities prior to October 21, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support an earlier effective date because there is no factually ascertainable increase in disability at any point in the year prior to receipt of the Intent to File on October 21, 2021.
