The Veteran is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities from April 11, 1980.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected PTSD and related symptoms have significantly impaired his ability to secure or follow substantially gainful employment since January 1981, making him unable to perform sedentary unskilled employment in a non-protected environment.
