Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) because her service-connected disabilities did not preclude her from obtaining or maintaining gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not prevent her from performing sedentary work, and she was previously employed in such a role.
