Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an effective date prior to November 19, 2019, for Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU) based on bipolar disorder. The evidence did not show that the criteria for TDIU were met before this date.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the earliest possible effective date for TDIU was November 19, 2019, as it is the later of the date entitlement arose or the date of the claim.
