Granted
The veteran's service-connected disabilities render him unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment. Therefore, a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) effective September 11, 2019 is granted.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence suggests that his service-connected disabilities together render him unable to obtain and/or secure substantially gainful employment.
