Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability, finding that his service-connected disabilities did not prevent him from securing and following substantial gainful activity.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that while the Veteran had multiple service-connected disabilities, he was capable of performing physical and mental acts required by employment, and there was no indication that these conditions prevented him from working in a substantially gainful occupation.
