The Board found that the Veteran did not provide sufficient information to verify his employment status, leading to the discontinuance of TDIU benefits effective December 1, 2020.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to complete and return the required VA Form 21-4140 within the specified time period, resulting in a lack of clear evidence regarding his employment status for the year in question.
