Denied

The veteran's service-connected disabilities do not preclude her from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation, and therefore TDIU is denied.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support an inability to obtain or maintain gainful employment due to the veteran's service-connected disabilities.

What this means for you

A denial is a starting point, not the end of the road. You can see why this claim fell short — and, if you are still inside the one-year window, the appeal lanes that may remain open to you.
