The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities do not preclude substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, while impacting his ability to work in certain aspects, do not prevent him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation consistent with his education, skills, training, and work history.
