Denied
The Board found that the Veteran did not meet the schedular criteria for a TDIU under 38 C.F.R. § 4.16(a) prior to June 14, 2014.
The deciding factor: The service-connected disabilities combined rating was less than 70 percent and did not render the Veteran unemployable without regard to nonservice-connected disabilities or advancing age.
