The Veteran was granted TDIU from January 1, 2015, due to his inability to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment that exceeded marginal income following the end of his employment in May 2015.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment that earned above marginal income after he stopped working in January 2015.
