Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for service connection, a TDIU prior to February 17, 2023, and an earlier effective date for DEA.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date as the Veteran's claim was properly received on February 17, 2023, and there was no clear and unmistakable error in the prior decision.
