The Veteran is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected complex partial seizure, right lower extremity neuropathy, and left lower extremity neuropathy associated with Gulf War environmental hazards, as well as a certificate of eligibility for specially adapted housing.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighs in favor of finding that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered her unable to secure or maintain substantially gainful employment and preclude locomotion without assistive devices.
