Partly granted
The Board granted a total disability based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) and denied a compensable rating for hypertension. The service connection claims for thyroid disorder and heart disability were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD, precluded him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation consistent with his education and occupational experience.
