Granted
The Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for a TDIU and eligibility to DEA were granted, with the earliest effective date being November 29, 2004.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as of November 29, 2004, but no earlier.
