The veteran's right wrist condition is rated at 30 percent, and he is granted a uniform rating. The TDIU claim is denied as the evidence does not show unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The VA determined that the veteran's Dequervain's tenosynovitis of the right wrist warrants a uniform 30 percent evaluation, which was granted. However, the evidence did not support his claim for TDIU as he is currently employed and capable of engaging in substantially gainful employment.
