The Board granted an earlier effective date of July 2, 2013, for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the September 2016 rating decision denying TDIU did not become final because it was sent to an incorrect address, and the Veteran reported his last full-time employment date as July 2, 2013.
