Partly granted
The Veteran was granted an initial 70 percent rating for PTSD effective April 17, 2018, and service connection was granted for chronic fatigue and tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas from April 17, 2018. The evidence was at least in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's chronic fatigue is related to his service-connected PTSD and sleep apnea.
