Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a TDIU on an extraschedular basis prior to March 15, 2018, as his service-connected disabilities did not render him incapable of securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran had sufficient education and work experience but was unable to secure employment due to non-service-connected factors such as age and knee disability. His service-connected conditions were not found to be severe enough to prevent substantial gainful employment.
