This case comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a January 1996 rating decision issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Phoenix, Arizona, which, in pertinent part, denied entitlement to the above condition. FINDING OF FACT In an August 2007 rating decision, the veteran was granted entitlement to TDIU, effective February 11, 2002. CONCLUSION OF LAW There are no errors of fact or law for appellate consideration and the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal. 38 U.S.C.A. §§ 511, 7104 (West 2002); 38 C.F.R. § 20.101 (2007). REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION The veteran's claim for entitlement to TDIU was granted by the RO in an August 2007 rating decision, effective February 11, 2002. As this constitutes a full grant of the benefits on appeal, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
