Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a TDIU, higher ratings for left and right knee strains, as his service-connected disabilities did not render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's income exceeded the poverty threshold levels, and he has demonstrated the ability to work part-time in real estate and insurance sales despite his disabilities.
