The Board granted a TDIU from July 28, 2016 to September 23, 2016 due to the Veteran's service-connected low back disability rendering him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's service-connected low back disability alone resulted in physical limitations precluding him from performing physical labor, and SSA determined his skills were non-transferable of sufficient number of sedentary jobs in the national economy.
