The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for the residuals of a fracture of the right femur has been granted, and he is now rated at 100 percent. The need for regular aid and attendance of another person due to his service-connected disability has also been established, allowing him to receive SMC at the highest rate. However, because the grant of a 100 percent rating for the right femur renders moot his claim for TDIU, that issue is not addressed further.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a TDIU prior to January 6, 2017 and granted it from that date onward. The decision found that the Veteran was not unemployable due to his service-connected disabilities prior to January 6, 2017.

The July 1980 and April 1981 RO rating decisions assigning zero percent evaluations for residuals of fractures of the right fibula, tibia, and femur are not found to contain CUE. The veteran's claims for increased evaluations for residuals of fractures of the right leg and fracture of the right femur with instability of the right knee were denied.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for his service-connected coronary artery disease, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the severity of his condition.
