Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU). The decision was based on evidence showing that the veteran's service-connected disabilities do not preclude him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities alone are not of sufficient severity to produce unemployability.
