The Veteran was granted a 70% rating for PTSD from July 1, 2020 through June 21, 2021, but the claim for an increased rating prior to that date and for total disability based on individual unemployability were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the period from July 1, 2020 through June 21, 2021, but not total occupational and social impairment. The Veteran was found unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to service-connected disabilities only for a portion of the appeal period.
