Granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation from December 16, 2016, and thus TDIU was granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD caused significant occupational impairment, including difficulty interacting with coworkers and adapting to work-like settings, making it impossible for the average person to maintain employment.
