Denied
The Board denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability as due to service-connected disabilities prior to January 9, 2007, but granted an earlier effective date of January 9, 2007, for the grant of entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that the Veteran was unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment due solely to service-connected disabilities prior to January 9, 2007, but indicated that he met the criteria from that date onward.
