Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD, CAD, diabetes, and related neuropathies, have rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation. The Board has granted entitlement to Total Disability Rating Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) effective from October 26, 2020.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case to consider whether a TDIU is warranted for the appeal period prior to June 30, 2015 on an extraschedular basis due to service-connected disabilities.
- Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's claims for TDIU and Dependents' Educational Assistance with effective dates of October 22, 2010. The decision was based on the Veteran's marginal employment due to his service-connected disabilities.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not render him in need of regular aid and attendance or permanently housebound, thus SMC based on aid and attendance is denied.
