Denied

The Board denied the veteran's claim for a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) prior to July 23, 2018, because the veteran's service-connected disabilities did not preclude him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment.

The deciding factor: The veteran's earned income exceeded the poverty threshold, indicating he was capable of maintaining substantially gainful employment.
