The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for Total Disability Rating Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) effective August 26, 2011. The previous decision had incorrectly assigned an effective date of August 25, 2011.
The deciding factor: The error in assigning the effective date was due to a clerical mistake where the Board overlooked that the Veteran was still employed on August 25, 2011.
