Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as moot because the veteran already has a combined 100 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran already has a combined 100 percent rating from October 7, 2020, making the TDIU claim moot.
