Granted
The Veteran's service-connected right hand disabilities alone preclude substantially gainful employment, and he is entitled to TDIU beginning August 11, 2021. He also qualifies for special monthly compensation (SMC) under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s).
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's right hand disabilities alone preclude substantially gainful employment after August 11, 2021.
