The Board has determined that the Veteran's angioneurotic edema and right shoulder disability rendered him individually unemployable as of February 25, 1998, warranting a TDIU rating effective from this date. The Board also found that his service-connected angioneurotic edema warranted an increased rating to 40% effective from the same date.
The deciding factor: The clinical evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's disabilities rendered him individually unemployable as of February 25, 1998.
