The Board denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as the Veteran's employment prior to July 15, 2018, was neither marginal nor employment in a protected environment, and his service-connected disabilities do not preclude substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and work experience.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's employment did not meet the criteria for marginal or protected environment employment, and his service-connected disabilities did not prevent him from obtaining substantially gainful employment.
