The Veteran's asthma is rated at 10 percent, and a TDIU is granted for migraine headaches. The request for an extraschedular rating for migraine headaches prior to February 27, 2014 is denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran’s service-connected migraine headaches rendered him unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment as of February 27, 2014 and the TDIU award moots his request for an extraschedular rating prior to that date.
