The Board denied the Veteran's claim for entitlement to total disability based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU), finding that his service-connected conditions did not prevent him from securing or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing or maintaining substantially gainful employment, and he has been able to work in a sedentary environment as an insurance contractor.
