The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities, finding that his service-connected disabilities do not preclude him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support the Veteran's claim of unemployability as it shows he has been employed in various capacities despite his service-connected disabilities, and vocational rehabilitation records indicate he is educationally disadvantaged but not unemployable.
