Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of April 27, 2011, but no earlier, for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The increase in disability resulting in the Veteran's unemployability occurred within one year prior to the initial claim for an increased evaluation.
