The Board has denied the veteran's appeal for a total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities, and has also remanded the issues of service connection for a psychiatric disorder and an eye disorder due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The claims were not granted as there was no evidence supporting the requested service connection or TDIU determinations.
