The Board has determined that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not meet the criteria for a TDIU as there is no evidence of unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: Service connection has not been granted for any of the Veteran's disabilities, thus making it impossible to determine if he qualifies for a TDIU based on those conditions.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the Veteran's eligibility for a Level 2 stipend under VA's PCAFC is in dispute due to insufficient medical review regarding his need for supervision, protection or instruction on a continuous basis. The case is being remanded for further evaluation.
- Denied
The VA correctly calculated and paid retroactive compensation benefits to the Veteran for the period from May 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. The appeal is denied as additional retroactive VA compensation is not warranted.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the issue on appeal should be characterized as entitlement to additional dependency compensation for P. J. C., the Veteran's minor child, and has found a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not including information or evidence from SSA regarding the disputed SSN provided by the Veteran.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's challenges to the creation and validity of her overpayment debt. The overpayment was found to be properly created, but the amount was recalculated based on a one-year period from October 2, 2019, to October 31, 2020. The waiver claim for recoupment of the overpayment was denied due to fault of both parties and potential financial hardship.
