The Veteran's service-connected PTSD from January 13, 2021 to January 31, 2021 did not preclude him from obtaining or retaining substantially gainful employment. From January 31, 2021 onwards, the overall combined disability rating was 100%, but his service-connected orthopedic conditions could not be considered a single disability for TDIU purposes.
The Veteran's death was not caused by any service-connected disability, and the criteria for DIC under 38 U.S.C. § 1318 were not met.
The Board has decided to remand the case due to a duty to assist error and potential new evidence that may affect the outcome of the claim.
The Board has dismissed the claims for service connection for chronic sinusitis, major depressive disorder with anxious distress, diabetes mellitus, type II, COPD, asthma, and atrial fibrillation due to a procedural defect.
The Veteran's emphysema, COPD, and asthma have been found to be at least as likely as not related to his in-service exposure to herbicides.
