Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including an acquired psychiatric disorder, bilateral knee, and bilateral foot disabilities, collectively warranted entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability from July 7, 2022 to October 9, 2023.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities substantially impacted his ability to secure and engage in all types of employment during the period from July 7, 2022 to October 9, 2023.
