The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood and L5-S1 spondylolisthesis with anterolisthesis of L5-S1 with evidence of L5 pars defects (PGW AGG), have precluded him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's service-connected disabilities precluded him from securing substantially gainful employment/occupation consistent with his experience, education, and training. Resolving all doubt in the Veteran's favor, entitlement to a TDIU is warranted.
