Granted
The Veteran's service-connected conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea, mood disorder with depressive and anxious features, benign growth of the spinal cord with spondylosis and anterolisthesis, residuals of right ankle sprain with traumatic arthritis, and otitis media, have rendered him unable to secure and follow substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected conditions more likely than not render him incapable of performing substantially gainful employment due to their impact on his ability to work.
