Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities of the low back, left knee, and mental health result in limitations which preclude him from engaging in employment consistent with his education and work history.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has limitations on his ability to stand or walk or kneel or lift things. He cannot sit for long periods of time. And he is taking prescription narcotic medication to address his pain which during a flare-up further limits his physical abilities.
