The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to his service-connected disabilities, including prostate cancer residuals, hearing loss, tinnitus, and erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not reflect that the Veteran was unable to secure or follow any substantially gainful occupation due to the effects of his service-connected disabilities. While he has multiple service-connected disabilities with a combined rating of 60%, the Board found that employment in a sedentary role would still be available to him.
