Granted

The veteran is granted an effective date of March 10, 2010 for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU). The evidence shows the veteran was unable to secure and follow substantially gainful employment due to service-connected disabilities.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's TDIU claim was part of his underlying increased rating claim for bilateral hearing loss, and the evidence was in equipoise regarding his ability to work.
