The veteran was found to be unemployable due to service-connected disabilities from May 6, 1991 through January 8, 1992. For the period from January 9, 1992 to October 16, 1994, she maintained a full-time academic schedule and did not meet the criteria for TDIU.
The deciding factor: The veteran's service-connected disabilities (Reactive Depression and Narcolepsy with Snoring) rendered her unemployable during the specified periods due to their severity and impact on her ability to work.
