Granted
The Board granted an effective date of March 7, 2013 for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to the Veteran's PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran became unemployable in May 2012 but was not awarded service connection for PTSD until March 7, 2013; therefore, the earliest possible effective date for TDIU is the date of the claim for service connection for PTSD.
