Dismissed
The Board dismissed the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as moot because the Veteran's service-connected disabilities are already rated at 100 percent, and he has been granted special monthly compensation (SMC).
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran is in receipt of a 100 percent rating for esophageal cancer from August 10, 2022, and an SMC pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s) since March 8, 2023.
