Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD alone precluded him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but the evidence did not persuasively weigh against finding that his PTSD manifested in symptoms productive of total occupational and social impairment.
