Partly granted
The veteran is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability from November 5, 2015 to January 4, 2024 due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation consistent with his education, skills, training, and work history.
