Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for TDIU based on his service-connected PTSD, finding that his service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record showed that the Veteran was unable to work due to both his service-connected PTSD and lumbar spine conditions, which functionally impacted his ability to work.
