The Board granted an effective date of February 11, 2010, for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's May and September 2008 statements about his severe foot pain symptoms and their effect on his daily functioning were considered informal claims for TDIU, which remained pending. The evidence showed that the Veteran was precluded from substantially gainful employment by his service-connected disabilities prior to May 2008.
