Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities did not prevent him from securing and following substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record showed that the Veteran's earnings were above the poverty threshold, and he was working full-time as a forklift operator with no known accommodations, which did not fall within the category of a protected environment.
