The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas but not total occupational and social impairment. Since May 29, 2024, the Veteran's service-connected disabilities are shown to have precluded him from all forms of substantially gainful employment.
