The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as it was deemed moot due to the Veteran already receiving a 100% schedular disability rating and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran had been in receipt of a total schedular disability rating and special monthly compensation since January 19, 2022, making any further award of TDIU unnecessary.
