Granted
The Veteran is granted a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) and special monthly compensation based on housebound status from October 5, 2017.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected psoriatic arthritis prevents him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment consistent with his educational background and work experience. His limitations also prevent him from toileting and dressing independently.
