Granted
The Board granted an effective date earlier than May 8, 2003, for the grant of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation prior to May 08, 2003, making TDIU entitlement warranted on an extraschedular basis.
