Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for TDIU, DEA eligibility, and an increased rating for sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that any single service-connected disability other than PTSD rendered the Veteran unable to secure or maintain substantially gainful employment prior to April 30, 2014. The Veteran's income exceeded the poverty threshold from 2013 to April 30, 2014.
