Partly granted
The veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for TDIU and DEA was granted starting from November 7, 2016. The issues of TDIU and DEA prior to this date were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supports the veteran's inability to secure or follow substantially gainful employment due to service-connected disabilities since November 7, 2016.
