Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) because the evidence did not show that the veteran's service-connected disabilities precluded him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the schedular TDIU requirements and was not found to be unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation by reason of service-connected disabilities.
