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 VA examination reports indicated that the veteran's service-connected conditions had no functional impact on his ability to work.
