The veteran's bronchial asthma was rated at 100% from March 31, 2007, and a total schedular rating for this condition between July 15, 2005 to March 30, 2007 is warranted. The claim for TDIU during the same period is dismissed as legally insufficient.
The deciding factor: The veteran's bronchial asthma was of such severity that it warranted a total schedular rating between July 15, 2005 to March 30, 2007, but a TDIU could not be granted for the same period due to the higher schedular rating.
