Granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual employability (TDIU) from March 1, 2022, due to the Veteran's income falling below the poverty threshold for a household of four in 2020.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence showed that the Veteran did not earn above the poverty threshold for a household of four in 2020, and there was no evidence of significant improvement after that time.
