Denied
The Board denied a total disability rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) as the Veteran was not rendered unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment as a result of his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The vocational assessment indicated that the Veteran was still capable of substantially gainful employment despite his service-connected back disability and newly service-connected lower extremity radiculopathy.
