Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a finding of total disability based on individual unemployability due to his service-connected disabilities, as he retains both the physical and mental capacity to perform some form of employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran's service-connected right foot disability and depressive disorder preclude him from employment where he would be in a seated position away from the public to perform simple tasks, and would not require him to be on his feet for extended periods.
