The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have prevented him from securing or following any substantially gainful employment, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is granted effective June 14, 2018.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities precluded him from working prior to June 2017, and resolving reasonable doubt in his favor, it was determined that he has been unable to secure or follow any form of substantially gainful occupation due to those disabilities.
