The Board denied the Veteran's claim for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) prior to May 21, 2013, as her service-connected disabilities did not render her unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran was unemployable due to her service-connected disabilities prior to May 21, 2013, as she worked full-time during this period and only required accommodations for her disabilities.
