The Board denied the claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as the Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not prevent him from securing and following substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran is able to perform less physical tasks, including sitting, walking, bending, and light lifting, despite restrictions such as being unable to lift more than 15 pounds at a time. His current role does not show significant reduction in productivity or inability to adapt to change, handle workplace stress, get along with coworkers, or demonstrate reliability.
