Granted

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is granted.

The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA examiner opined that the Veteran was unable to perform even sedentary work due to his service-connected disabilities, which aligns with the Veteran's testimony and the established policy of VA to rate veterans totally disabled when their service-connected disabilities render them unemployable.
