Granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, which include depressive disorder with alcohol use disorder, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities significantly impacted his employability, leading to his retirement from teaching. The combined 80% disabling rating met the criteria for a TDIU.
