Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for hypothyroidism and granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) from October 1, 2014.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic codes, but his service-connected disabilities resulted in an inability to secure and maintain a substantially gainful occupation from October 1, 2014.
