The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability based upon individual unemployability (TDIU), finding that his service-connected disabilities, while impacting his ability to work, did not preclude him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not persuasively show that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities alone are of such a severity as to preclude substantially gainful employment. The Board considered the Veteran's work history and skills but found no indication that all forms of substantially gainful employment consistent with his background were precluded.
