The veteran is unable to obtain or maintain any form of substantially gainful employment due to the combined effects of his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The veteran's service-connected disabilities, including paralysis of the right radial nerve and extensors and reflexes of all fingers of the right hand, residuals of a gunshot wound of the left forearm, scars, right hip disability, left hip disability, and bilateral hearing loss disability, are sufficient to preclude him from obtaining or maintaining any form of substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and employment background.
