Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating due to individual unemployability, finding that his service-connected disabilities do not preclude him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not prevent him from performing unskilled or semi-skilled work.
