Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) because the evidence did not show that his service-connected disabilities prevented him from obtaining and maintaining employment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's work history, including periods of unemployment and part-time employment, did not support a finding that his PTSD or hearing loss prevented him from securing substantially gainful employment.
