Granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD with MDD and other disabilities prevent him from securing or following substantially gainful employment, granting a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected PTSD with MDD alone precludes the Veteran from securing and following substantially gainful employment consistent with his education, skills, training, and work history.
