Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the 60 percent rating of coronary artery disease and TDIU, finding that it was not factually ascertainable that the Veteran's disability worsened within one year of the claim being received.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a specific period in which worsening occurred or that the Veteran became unable to work due to his service-connected disabilities within one year before the claims were received.
