Denied

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) as moot because he has a combined 100 percent schedular rating but does not have a single service-connected disability rated as total.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that any of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, alone or in combination, precluded him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment.
