Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a TDIU prior to March 4, 2020, finding that his service-connected disabilities did not render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not demonstrate a reasonable possibility that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities alone were of sufficient severity to preclude him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation prior to March 4, 2020.
