Granted
The Board granted an effective date of May 9, 2020, for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him eligible for TDIU under the schedular percentage requirements, and he had a permanent total service-connected disability effective May 9, 2020, which met the criteria for DEA benefits.
