The Board denied the claim for a total disability evaluation due to individual unemployability (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis, finding that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not render him incapable of securing or maintaining gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran is unable to secure or maintain gainful employment solely due to his service-connected conditions, as he has been able to perform some part-time work and there is no persuasive medical opinion confirming his unemployability.
