Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support the claim that the Veteran is unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as a result of his service-connected disabilities, and he has maintained multiple jobs during the relevant period.
