Granted
The veteran's appeal for Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU) based on service-connected disabilities was granted. The Board found that the veteran's service-connected conditions render him unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the veteran meets the schedular requirements for TDIU and his service-connected disabilities prevent him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
