Denied
The appeal for a rating in excess of 30 percent for the left eye disability and TDIU were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from obtaining or retaining substantially gainful employment, nor was there sufficient basis to warrant a higher disability rating based on visual impairment.
