The Board denied a higher rating for posttraumatic vertigo on an extraschedular basis and did not address the issue of an effective date prior to July 14, 2008, for TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show marked interference with employment in excess of that contemplated by the rating schedule or other factors rendering impractical the application of the regular schedular standards.
