Granted
The Veteran's service-connected thoracolumbar spine and associated bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy disabilities precluded him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation, leading to the grant of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities resulted in functional impairment sufficient to preclude him from accomplishing physical and mental tasks required for substantially gainful employment consistent with his education, training, and vocational history.
