The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities did not preclude him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence weighed against finding that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from engaging in sedentary employment, and he was capable of performing basic work-related activities on a sustained basis.
