Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities, as there was no evidence that his service-connected PTSD, tinnitus, and hypertension rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected conditions did not significantly impair his physical abilities or mental capacity required for employment, and he had not actively sought work during the appeal period.
