Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the assignment of a TDIU, finding that January 17, 2024, is the proper date given his service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the rule that the effective date of a TDIU may not precede the effective date of the disability upon which it is based, in this case, the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, which was awarded from January 17, 2024.
