Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to his service-connected disabilities, as he does not meet the criteria for TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support that the Veteran is unemployable due solely to his service-connected disabilities, and no medical professional has opined that these conditions result in unemployability.
