Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on unemployability (TDIU) as the evidence did not show that his service-connected conditions prevented him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was given more weight than the private provider's, and while there were some limitations noted, they did not prevent the Veteran from pursuing all forms of substantially gainful employment.
