Granted
The veteran's service-connected disabilities, particularly PTSD, rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment. Therefore, the Board granted a total rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran met the schedular requirement for TDIU, and the effects of his service-connected disabilities rendered him unemployable.
