Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including major depressive disorder, bilateral pes planus, right knee disability, and left knee disability, combine to render him unable to obtain and maintain gainful employment, warranting a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the symptoms resulting from his service-connected conditions significantly impact his ability to obtain and maintain gainful employment.
