Granted
The Veteran is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability and special monthly compensation due to his service-connected coronary artery disease.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected coronary artery disease precludes him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation, as he is significantly limited in walking, which is an essential function for his former employment as a social worker.
