Partly granted
The veteran is granted TDIU for the period from September 16, 2004, to July 5, 2023. The claim for TDIU from July 5, 2023, onward is moot due to a total schedular rating.
The deciding factor: The veteran's service-connected disabilities precluded him from gaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment during the period on appeal.
