Denied
The Board denied entitlement to a TDIU prior to April 15, 2011, as the Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not preclude him from obtaining or maintaining substantial gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not meet the schedular criteria for TDIU and did not prevent him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
