The veteran's claim for Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU) from January 12, 2005 to November 23, 2005 was denied because the veteran maintained substantially gainful employment. The claim for TDIU from November 24, 2005 to May 24, 2013 was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on whether the veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered them unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
