Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a TDIU prior to April 14, 2024 and an effective date earlier than April 14, 2024 for SMC under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s)(1), as they are inextricably intertwined.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to adjudicate the merits of the Veteran's TDIU claim prior to April 14, 2024 on the basis that a single service-connected disability may warrant SMC at the housebound rate under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s).
