Partly granted
The veteran was granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as of February 13, 2018. The claim for TDIU prior to this date was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation consistent with his education and work history as of February 13, 2018.
