Granted
The Veteran is granted special monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s) from September 10, 2024, based on the service-connected coronary artery disease and additional disabilities rated at least 60 percent combined.
The deciding factor: TDIU qualifies as a single disability rated as total, and his remaining separate and distinct disabilities together result in a combined evaluation of at least 60 percent beginning September 10, 2024.
