Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date for the grant of TDIU and DEA, finding that there was no factually ascertainable increase in the Veteran's disabilities within one year prior to December 26, 2023.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a factually ascertainable increase in the Veteran's disabilities within one year prior to the intent to file for TDIU and the grant of DEA being predicated on the effective date of the TDIU.
