Denied
The Board denied entitlement to an effective date prior to August 28, 2009 for the award of a TDIU and also denied entitlement to a TDIU based solely on service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record does not show that the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, alone, renders him unable to secure and follow substantially gainful employment.
