The Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date of April 10, 2018, for a total disability rating based upon unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) was granted.
The deciding factor: The record reasonably raised the issue of entitlement to a TDIU in conjunction with the initial claim for service connection for PTSD and the Veteran first met the schedular criteria for a TDIU on April 10, 2018.
