Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment as of August 31, 2010, and an earlier effective date for the grant of individual unemployability (TDIU) was granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran met the criteria for a TDIU due to his service-connected psychiatric disability, which precluded all but marginal or protected employment from August 31, 2010.
