The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to his service-connected disabilities, including peripheral neuropathy of the bilateral lower extremities and hypothyroidism.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not prevent him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment in occupations that entail mild or negligible physical effort and do not require prolonged standing or walking, taking into consideration his educational background.
