Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including thoracolumbar degenerative disc disease and degenerative arthritis; femoral radiculopathy, bilateral lower extremities; radiculopathy, bilateral lower extremities; and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), preclude him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities significantly impair his ability to work due to pain, numbness, intermittent paresthesia, frequent bathroom breaks, and other symptoms.
