The Veteran's service-connected disabilities preclude him from securing and following substantially gainful employment, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is at least in equipoise that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities render him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment.
