Dismissed
The appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was dismissed because the veteran already has a 100% rating for PTSD and does not meet criteria for special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The veteran's 100% disability rating for PTSD means he is considered totally disabled, making the TDIU issue moot.
