Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected acquired psychiatric disability does not prevent him from obtaining or maintaining a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that the Veteran was unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities, and he has been employed since 1999 in various capacities including self-employment as a consultant and radio host.
