Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating for individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected tinnitus, rated at 10 percent, did not meet the schedular criteria and there was no evidence that it rendered him unable to secure or follow any substantial gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's only service-connected disability, tinnitus, did not render him unemployable as his combined rating did not meet the required threshold for a TDIU under 38 C.F.R. § 4.16(a).
