Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral eye conditions, diagnosed as dry eye syndrome and pinguecula, and a TDIU from May 16, 2012, to June 26, 2012.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports the claim that the Veteran's bilateral eye conditions had their onset during service and are related to his service-connected dry eye syndrome. The Veteran was also found to be unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities.
