The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have precluded the securing or maintaining of gainful employment, and a TDIU is granted prior to July 31, 2017.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows severe occupational limitations due to service-connected conditions, including chronic headaches, positional vertigo, right ear hearing loss, and tinnitus, which prevent the Veteran from obtaining or maintaining gainful employment.
