Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 60 percent for right eye enucleation and left lens removal prior to May 17, 2021, and a rating in excess of 70 percent thereafter. However, the Veteran was granted a total rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) due to the combined effects of his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's visual acuity and field of vision did not meet the criteria for higher ratings, but his disability rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment consistent with his educational and occupational history.
