The February 8, 2011 rating decision failed to grant a TDIU for the period from July 1, 2005 until February 21, 2010 due to IHD. The Board has now granted this claim.
The deciding factor: The RO committed legal error by failing to consider the issue of entitlement to a TDIU at the time of the February 8, 2011 rating decision, which would have resulted in a grant of TDIU for the period from July 1, 2005 until February 21, 2010.
