Granted
The appeal for a disability rating in excess of 50 percent for PTSD was granted, and the Veteran's entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployment (TDIU) due to his service-connected disabilities was also granted.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding that a timely substantive appeal was filed regarding the evaluation of his PTSD, and that his overall disability picture warranted a TDIU during the appeal period prior to May 30, 2017.
