The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) prior to May 26, 2022 due to the assignment of a 100 percent schedular rating for his service-connected heart disease.
The deciding factor: The TDIU claim was denied as a matter of law because the Veteran's service-connected disabilities were already assigned a 100 percent schedular rating and he had been awarded special monthly compensation at the housebound rate, making the assignment of an additional TDIU evaluation unnecessary for securing benefits.
