The Board granted an earlier effective date of May 4, 2010, for the grant of a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) and eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) under Chapter 35, Title 38, United States Code.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding the question of whether the Veteran's service-connected disabilities render him incapable of securing or maintaining substantially gainful employment, effective May 4, 2010, and resolved doubt in favor of the Veteran.
