Granted
The veteran's service-connected disabilities, including TBI, DDD, and urinary incontinence, have been determined to preclude him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation. Therefore, he is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, when considered together, prevent him from maintaining a substantially gainful occupation consistent with his education, skills, training, and work history.
