Granted
The Veteran's posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has prevented him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful occupation due to symptoms including anxiety, poor concentration, suicidal ideation, disturbances of motivation and mood, difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships, difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances, impaired impulse control, emotional lability, and other related symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected PTSD renders him unable to secure and maintain substantially gainful employment due to significant occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, including work, family relations, judgment, thinking, mood, and social relationships.
