The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered him unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran has limited work history and physical limitations due to his service-connected conditions, making it impossible for him to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
