Granted
The Veteran's service-connected prostate cancer alone has rendered him unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's prostate cancer with urinary incontinence significantly impacts his ability to work, particularly due to frequent bathroom needs and the need for absorbent material changes, preventing him from performing even part-time employment.
