Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as the evidence did not show that he was unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's income, which exceeded the poverty threshold, and the lack of evidence showing his employment was shielded from competition in the market, were key factors in denying TDIU.
