The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected conditions, including lumbosacral strain with spinal fusions and intervertebral disc syndrome, right lower extremity radiculopathy, left knee joint osteoarthritis, fecal incontinence associated with hemorrhoids, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and tinnitus, have prevented him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
