Dismissed
The appeal for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was dismissed because the veteran is already rated at 100 percent for leukemia and there is no evidence showing they are unable to work due solely to another service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has a 100 percent rating for leukemia, making the TDIU claim moot.
