Granted
The Veteran's service-connected narcolepsy is rated at least 70 percent, combined, and his disability has been shown to render him unable to maintain regular substantially gainful employment. Therefore, a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to the service-connected narcolepsy is granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's narcolepsy symptoms significantly impact his ability to work consistently and reliably, leading to frequent tardiness and unreliability in the workplace, which precludes him from maintaining any regular, substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and experience.
