Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities preclude him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment, thus a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) is granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevent him from performing any type of work due to his back pain, knee arthritis, shoulder disability, IBS, headaches, and memory issues.
