Granted

The Veteran's combined service-connected disabilities have precluded his substantial and gainful employment, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) from July 13, 2022.

The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's disabilities renders him unable to work in positions involving prolonged physical activity or even engaging in physical work which requires standing, walking, lifting, bending, and carrying heavy objects; or work which requires extensive driving due to limited peripheral vision.
