Granted
The veteran's service-connected disabilities render him unable to secure and follow substantially gainful employment, so he is granted a rating of total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran meets the schedular criteria for TDIU as he has one disability rated at least 40 percent and a total rating of at least 70 percent.
