Denied

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) prior to June 1, 2022, as the evidence did not show that his service-connected disabilities rendered him incapable of substantially gainful employment.

The deciding factor: The evidence was insufficient to establish that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing or maintaining substantially gainful employment at any time during the period on appeal.
