The Board denied the motion to revise or reverse an August 2017 rating decision that denied a total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA), finding no clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the RO misapplied the regulation regarding schedular requirements for TDIU, but this did not manifestly change the outcome of the decision. The evidence was insufficient to grant a TDIU even if the schedular requirement had been met.
