Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) because his service-connected disabilities do not render him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not meet the schedular requirements for TDIU as he does not have a rating of at least 60 percent for a single disability, or a combined rating of at least 70 percent.
