Granted
The Veteran was granted an earlier effective date of August 10, 2022, for the grant of a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is a basis to grant an effective date of August 10, 2022, as the Veteran's TDIU claim was part and parcel of his underlying prostate cancer claim, which he filed within one year after the PACT Act became law.
