The Board denied an effective date prior to February 1, 2023 for a TDIU based on the Veteran's PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had submitted new and relevant evidence within one year of the November 2021 rating decision granting service connection for PTSD, which was final. The earliest effective date that may be assigned is February 1, 2023, the date VA received the intent to file a claim form.
