Granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) from April 26, 2011, due to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss significantly impacted his ability to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment, rendering him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
