The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities did not preclude him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, while causing some impairment, do not appear to have impacted his functional ability severely enough to preclude all employment. The evidence does not support that the Veteran was unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities.
