The Veteran's service-connected PTSD renders him unable to obtain or maintain gainful employment, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows the Veteran's symptoms of difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work relationships, difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances, and impaired impulse control such as unprovoked irritability with periods of violence would likely impair his ability to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment.
