Denied
The Board denied entitlement to a finding of total disability due to individual unemployability (TDIU) based on the Veteran's service-connected conditions prior to July 8, 2021.
The deciding factor: While the Veteran has functional impairments from his service-connected disabilities, he was still able to function and seek an occupation that does not involve serious physical labor or a noisy area.
