Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 70 percent rating for PTSD prior to August 7, 2019, and the claim for a rating in excess of 70 percent from that date was denied. The TDIU claim was also denied.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas prior to August 7, 2019, but did not meet the criteria for a higher rating thereafter or for TDIU.
