Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have been determined to render him unable to obtain and/or maintain substantially gainful employment, thus entitling him to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities significantly hinder his ability to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation.
