Granted

The Veteran is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities, as his service-connected conditions render him unable to maintain regular, substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and experience.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected PTSD, shoulder, and knee conditions were reasonably shown to have been of a nature and severity that rendered the Veteran unable to maintain regular, substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and experience.
