Partly granted
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 70 percent for service-connected PTSD from May 8, 2015, but granted a total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) for the entire period on appeal since May 8, 2015.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to their severity and frequency, but they were sufficient to prevent him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment.
