Denied

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities, while severe, do not render him unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment.

The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities individually or in combination render him unemployable, given his education level and the medical evidence of record.
