The Board granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD with TBI and SMC at the housebound rate.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including persistent danger of hurting self or others and grossly inappropriate behavior, meet the criteria for a 100 percent rating. Additionally, he meets the schedular criteria for SMC at the housebound rate due to his combined service-connected disabilities totaling at least 60 percent.
