The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities did not render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported work history was inconsistent, and he failed to provide sufficient information regarding his employment. The Board concluded that the impact of his service-connected disabilities on his employability did not warrant a TDIU.
