The Board granted a 70 percent rating for PTSD and depression as of September 14, 2021, and a TDIU as of April 4, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psychiatric symptoms, including depressed mood, anxiety, chronic sleep impairment, and memory loss, resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating. Additionally, the Veteran was found unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities.
