The Board granted the Veteran's appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to his service-connected migraines and tinnitus, which impact his ability to focus and perform physical work.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran is unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities, specifically his migraines and tinnitus, which affect his mental and physical abilities required for employment.
