Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a TDIU prior to March 7, 2016, as there was no evidence that his service-connected disabilities substantially interfered with his employment during the one-year period prior to VA's receipt of his increased rating claim.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not establish that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities worsened in severity from March 7, 2015, to March 7, 2016, such that he was unable to pursue a substantially gainful occupation as a barber.
