Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities do not preclude him from securing or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not persuasively show the Veteran is unable to maintain substantially gainful employment due solely to his service-connected disabilities.
