The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a grant of an extraschedular TDIU as the Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not preclude him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment consistent with his level of education, prior work history, and training.
