The Veteran's service-connected trauma or stressor related disorder with insomnia was granted a 70 percent evaluation, and TDIU was granted prior to February 7, 2024.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, justifying an increased evaluation from 50 percent to 70 percent for his trauma or stressor related disorder with insomnia. Additionally, the Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
