The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) as the evidence did not show that he was unable to engage in substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that while the Veteran had service-connected disabilities, including diabetic peripheral neuropathy and prostate cancer residuals, he was likely capable of performing sedentary work with proper accommodations.
