Granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD alone has rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation, and a TDIU is granted from November 7, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms, including depressed mood, anxiety, chronic sleep impairment, and difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances, make it impossible for the average person to follow a substantially gainful occupation.
