Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including left knee replacement, depression, plantar fasciitis, right knee joint disease, and left hip joint disease, meet the schedular requirements for a TDIU as of March 1, 2023, and preclude him from securing and following any form of substantially gainful employment consistent with his work and educational background.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including mental and physical conditions, make it impossible to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as determined by the U.S. Department of Commerce poverty threshold for one person.
