Partly granted
The appeal for an earlier effective date is denied, and the Veteran's total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) is granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support an earlier effective date or a higher initial disability rating; however, it supports granting TDIU due to service-connected disabilities.
