Granted
The veteran's service-connected psychiatric disorder has been granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU). This means the veteran is considered unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to their condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's psychiatric disorder, including past substance abuse, renders him unable to perform the physical and mental acts necessary for employment.
