Granted
The Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is granted. The Board found that the Veteran is unable to obtain or maintain gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran meets the threshold schedular requirement for an award of TDIU benefits under 38 C.F.R. § 4.16(a).
