Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including lumbar degenerative arthritis and radiculopathies, have been found to render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation. TDIU is granted effective March 29, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected conditions significantly impair his ability to work, making it impossible for him to maintain employment in any substantial capacity.
