Granted
The Veteran's PTSD alone precludes him from securing and following substantially gainful employment, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) effective December 20, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran suffers from occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas due to his service-connected PTSD and major depressive disorder, rendering him incapable of substantially gainful employment.
