Denied

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis, finding that he was capable of performing sedentary work throughout the appeal period.

The deciding factor: The record shows that the Veteran was able to perform sedentary work despite his service-connected disabilities and did not meet the criteria for TDIU even when considering the extraschedular provisions.
