Denied
The Board denied entitlement to a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) prior to February 19, 2019, as the Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not preclude him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted was not new and relevant, and the vocational assessment relied on previous evidence that was found to be flawed by the Board in its prior decision.
