Granted
The Board granted an effective date of June 1, 2004, for the grant of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities and eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure and follow substantially gainful employment from June 1, 2004, onward, meeting the criteria for an earlier effective date for TDIU and DEA benefits.
