The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including residuals of facial burns, Parkinsonism, PTSD, tinnitus, and right-ear hearing loss, prevented him from performing the physical and mental acts required for employment, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The impact of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities made it impossible for him to secure and maintain substantially gainful employment during the period on review.
