The veteran's appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities was granted. The Board found that the veteran is unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have been rated at a combined 70 percent or more during the period on appeal with at least one disability ratable at 40 percent or more, and the Board found that the Veteran is unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to a combination of his service-connected disabilities.
