The Board granted the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to his service-connected disabilities, which render him unable to engage and retain substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including sleep apnea, migraines, right shoulder impairment, and tinnitus, significantly impact his ability to perform occupational tasks, both physical and sedentary, rendering him unemployable.
