Partly granted
The Board granted a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) but denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for OSA.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including OSA and other conditions, significantly impacted his ability to work, leading to a determination of TDIU. However, the evidence did not support an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for OSA.
