The Board granted an effective date of January 1, 2015 for TDIU through December 31, 2016 and denied entitlement to TDIU from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. The Board also granted an earlier effective date of January 1, 2018 for TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities limited his ability to function in a work-like setting and resulted in memory loss, difficulty establishing and maintaining effective relationships, and difficulty adapting to stressful situations. The evidence reflected that the Veteran earned well under the poverty threshold during the relevant periods, which supported the grant of TDIU.
