Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful employment, granting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities on an extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities significantly impair his ability to perform physical and mental tasks required by employment, leading to a finding of unemployability.
