Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including generalized anxiety disorder and orthopedic conditions, preclude him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs in favor of finding that the Veteran cannot work due to his service-connected disabilities, considering his education, training, and the impact of both physical and mental conditions on his ability to perform sedentary work.
