Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU), finding that there was no implicit denial of TDIU in previous claims and that the current effective date of June 16, 2021, is appropriate.
The deciding factor: The November 2017 rating decision implicitly denied a claim for entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to the Veteran's service-connected psychiatric disorder, and the Veteran did not appeal or submit new and material evidence within one year of that decision.
