The veteran's TDIU was granted, effective from September 1, 1964. The Board vacated its previous denial of TDIU in August 1989 due to the retroactive restoration of service connection for polyneuritis.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran was denied due process in August 1989 when it did not consider all his service-connected disabilities, including polyneuritis.
