Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent evaluation for the Veteran's unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The Board also granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, justifying a 70 percent evaluation. Additionally, his service-connected disabilities render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation, warranting TDIU.
