The Board granted entitlement to total individual unemployability (TDIU) effective October 4, 2016, due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected PTSD alone met the schedular criteria for an award of TDIU from November 19, 2010, and he was not capable of performing anything other than marginal employment since leaving his independent truck driving job in 2014.
