The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as he is already in receipt of a combined 100 percent disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not meet the criteria for TDIU because his combined schedular rating is 100 percent, and a TDIU cannot be granted to someone who is already receiving a total disability rating.
