The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including Parkinson's Disease and diabetes mellitus, have rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's physical and mental impairments related to his service-connected conditions significantly impact his ability to work, making it impossible for him to engage in any significant amount of fine motor skills or heavy physical labor. His cognitive impairment also affects his ability to follow directions and complete tasks efficiently.
