Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities, while severe, do not render him unable to obtain or maintain a gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevent him from working in any form of substantially gainful employment. While some disabilities may impact his ability to work, they are appropriately compensated by the ratings assigned.
