The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities did not prevent him from securing or following any substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record failed to demonstrate that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities alone rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation, and he was found capable of performing any gainful employment he was qualified for.
