Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) because the evidence did not show that his service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD symptoms, did not render him incapable of securing or maintaining employment.
