Partly granted
The veteran was granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability from May 11, 2016, and the claim for an earlier effective date for special monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s) was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment from May 11, 2016, but he did not meet the criteria for an earlier effective date for special monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s).
