Dismissed
The appeal for TDIU was dismissed as moot because the veteran already received a 100% disability rating. The request for an earlier effective date for service connection of depression was denied.
The deciding factor: The veteran had multiple disabilities rated at 100 percent and was in receipt of special monthly compensation, making the TDIU appeal moot; no evidence supported an earlier effective date for depression.
