The Veteran is unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities, and therefore, he is entitled to a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities render him incapable of obtaining or retaining substantially gainful employment, despite having a 10th grade education and no typing or computer skills.
