Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for an earlier effective date for the award of a TDIU, finding that the Veteran did not meet the criteria for entitlement to a TDIU prior to January 12, 2005.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran was unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities prior to January 12, 2005.
