Granted
The Veteran is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to his service-connected disabilities, which include coronary artery disease, degenerative disc disease, diabetes mellitus, diabetic peripheral neuropathy of the left and right lower extremity, tinnitus, shell fragment wound of the left knee, right and left ear hearing loss, erectile dysfunction, and non-small cell lung cancer with restrictive lung disease.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevent him from maintaining substantially gainful employment due to physical limitations and impairments affecting his ability to work in various occupations.
