Partly granted
The Veteran's PTSD was granted a 70 percent disability rating prior to January 23, 2020, and the claim for a higher rating from that date was denied. The Board also remanded the issue of service connection for a bilateral foot condition.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms, which more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas prior to January 23, 2020, but did not meet the criteria for total occupational and social impairment from that date.
