Granted
The veteran's service-connected disability for duodenal ulcer has rendered him unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation, so he is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's reports of unemployability consistent and corroborated by medical records, despite some conflicting VA examination reports.
