Partly granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis prior to May 18, 2023, due to the Veteran's service-connected hernia condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence reflects that the service-connected hernia condition renders the Veteran unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment consistent with his education, training, and experience.
