Denied
The Board found that the Veteran did not submit a required 'Employment Questionnaire' (VA Form 21-4140) within the required time period, leading to the proper discontinuance of her TDIU benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to return a completed VA Form 21-4140 or 21-4138 within 60 days as requested by the AOJ, and there is no evidence to rebut the presumption that she received these forms.
