Denied
The Veteran was found to be substantially gainfully employed from January 8, 1999, to September 24, 2012, and therefore did not meet the criteria for a TDIU prior to September 24, 2012.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected PTSD symptoms were managed by medication but generally did not interfere with his employment. The economic component of a TDIU was met from 2000 to 2002 and in 2009 and 2011, while the noneconomic component was not met for those years.
