Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date for the award of a TDIU was dismissed, and a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD and SMC were denied.
The deciding factor: The issue is not properly before the Board as it involves implementation of a final Board decision, which lacks the requisite assessment of legal or factual issues.
