Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for a 100 percent rating for gastrojejunal ulcer and special monthly compensation (SMC) on January 11, 2022, but dismissed the claim for total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims met the criteria for an earlier effective date as his symptoms were present prior to the filing of his claim.
