Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of a TDIU, finding that the Veteran's claim was received on December 27, 2022, and it was not factually ascertainable that he became unemployable due to his service-connected disabilities within one year prior to this date.
The deciding factor: The increase in disability was not shown to have occurred within a year of the claim, thus the effective date cannot be earlier than the date of receipt of the claim.
