Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date for TDIU and DEA benefits was dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction over the underlying claims.
The deciding factor: The Board lacks jurisdiction to address a TDIU in the absence of an underlying claim for increased evaluation or service connection, as per legal framework set by the Court.
