Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, effective July 22, 2012, but denied a compensable initial rating and remanded the claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas such as judgment, thinking, or mood, due to suicidal ideation related.
