Granted
The veteran's service-connected migraine headaches have prevented him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation since October 2, 2019. Therefore, the Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) effective from that date.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the veteran's migraines are so severe that he cannot work or maintain employment.
