Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to his service-connected disabilities, finding that he could still secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not prevent him from obtaining and retaining substantially gainful employment given his education, skills, training, and work history. He was capable of performing many forms of sedentary work despite knee issues.
