The Veteran's food allergies are related to military service, and the Board granted service connection for these conditions. However, due to lack of employment information provided by the Veteran, TDIU prior to May 27, 2022 was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a grant of service connection for food allergies but the Veteran failed to provide necessary employment status documentation.
