Partly granted
The veteran is granted TDIU from January 11, 2019, to January 10, 2021, but the appeal for TDIU from January 11, 2021, is dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities precluded him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment from January 11, 2019, to January 10, 2021, but he received a 100 percent evaluation for his service-connected disabilities starting January 11, 2021.
