Granted
The Veteran's PTSD was granted a 70 percent rating, and effective dates of August 31, 2011 were granted for TDIU and DEA eligibility.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of PTSD, including occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranted a 70 percent rating. The evidence also supported the grant of an earlier effective date for TDIU and DEA eligibility based on his service-connected disabilities.
