Granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD with insomnia and hyperarousal rendered her unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) from June 17, 2019.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with insomnia and hyperarousal rendered her unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
