The Veteran's service-connected PTSD and other disabilities render him unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment, warranting a total rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and special monthly compensation for housebound status.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected PTSD symptoms significantly impact his ability to work in any field due to chronic sleep impairment, fatigue, poor motivation, and difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances. Additionally, he has a combined rating of 100 percent from June 9, 2021, meeting the criteria for TDIU.
