Dismissed
The Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities was dismissed because the Veteran failed to submit the required VA Form 21-8940 within one year of the VA's request.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not respond to multiple requests to complete and submit a VA Form 21-8940, which is necessary for adjudicating the TDIU claim.
