Granted
The Board granted entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to the service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with overlapping symptoms.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's service-connected PTSD prevented him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment, meeting the criteria for TDIU under 38 C.F.R. § 4.16(a).
