Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevent him from securing and following any substantially gainful occupation, thus granting entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported functional limitations and treatment records are consistent with his inability to work due to pain that makes sitting, standing, or walking for prolonged periods of time difficult.
