Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to July 20, 2007, for the award of a TDIU and SMC(s) due solely to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with memory loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran was unemployable due solely to his PTSD prior to July 20, 2007. His employment limitations were due to the combined effects of numerous factors, including significant pain from his back disability.
