Granted
The veteran is granted an earlier effective date of July 25, 2018 for Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disability and obstructive sleep apnea have rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation consistent with his education and experience throughout the period from July 25, 2018.
