Granted
The Veteran is granted a total disability rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities and basic eligibility to Dependents' Education Assistance under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
The deciding factor: The service-connected disabilities are of such severity as to preclude the Veteran from securing and following substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and work experiences, meeting the criteria for a TDIU.
