Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities do not render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus, did not significantly impact his ability to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment given his educational background and occupational history.
