Denied
The Veteran's appeal to increase his combined disability rating from 90% to 100% was denied. The Board found no error in the calculation of the combined evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's combined schedular evaluation for service-connected disabilities was calculated correctly, and the Veteran already receives a 100% rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU).
