The Board denied the Veteran's claims for a higher rating for his unspecified neurocognitive disorder and for a TDIU prior to May 20, 2019.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that the Veteran's symptoms warranted a higher rating or that he was unemployable due to service-connected disability prior to May 20, 2019.
