The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD and shoulder conditions, preclude him from being able to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran has an inability to establish and maintain effective relationships, significant pain and stiffness in his shoulders, and psychiatric symptoms that render him a danger to coworkers, leading to a finding of total occupational impairment.
