The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment, and the Board has granted a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities (including residuals of fracture of left femur and pelvis with traumatic arthritis, splenectomy, status-post nasal laceration and multiple facial scars, status-post laceration of liver, blood clots in lung, and blood clots in left leg) have made him unemployable.

What this means for you
A grant means the Board allowed the benefit or issue identified in this decision. Review the original order: other issues in the same appeal may have a different outcome, and this decision does not predict another claim.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
