Granted

The Board granted an earlier effective date of June 16, 2014, for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) based on clear and unmistakable error in a previous decision.

The deciding factor: The January 2018 rating decision contained CUE in failing to consider entitlement to TDIU prior to October 24, 2017, as the criteria for a TDIU were met as of June 16, 2014.
