Granted
The veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented her from securing or following substantially gainful employment prior to June 8, 2019, so a TDIU is granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that both the economic and noneconomic components of Ray v. Wilkie were met, indicating the veteran could not secure or follow substantially gainful employment.
