Granted

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities render him unable to engage and retain substantially gainful employment, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected PTSD, left knee strain, left ear hearing loss, and tinnitus would impact his ability to sustain a gainful occupation even with reasonable accommodations.
