- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected conditions meet the schedular prerequisite criteria for a TDIU, and her mental and physical disabilities have rendered her unable to obtain or maintain a substantially gainful course of employment. The Board has granted entitlement to TDIU from July 26, 2020.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, particularly his PTSD, prevent him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment. The Board has granted a TDIU based on the severity of these conditions.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
