Granted
The Board granted a total rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability due to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, which include right hip osteoarthritis with hip joint replacement (flexion), lumbosacral strain with degenerative arthritis with intervertebral disc syndrome, left hip osteoarthritis with hip joint replacement (flexion), and radiculopathy of the sciatic nerve in the right leg.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to physical limitations and pain, as supported by medical evidence and testimony.
