Granted
The Veteran's service-connected mental health disability (PTSD) is as likely as not of such nature and severity as to prevent him from securing or following substantially gainful employment, granting a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms are severe enough to prevent him from securing or following substantially gainful employment, as evidenced by his lack of work since 2022 and the impact on his ability to function independently and maintain effective work relationships.
