Granted
The Veteran's service-connected stiff person syndrome (SPS) is granted a 40 percent disability rating, and TDIU is also granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran's SPS symptoms were nearly constant and refractory to therapy, warranting a 40 percent rating. Additionally, her service-connected disabilities prevented her from securing or following substantially gainful employment.
