Granted
The Board granted an increased rating in excess of 30 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities, effective May 30, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms were found to be consistent with the severity, frequency, and duration of the types of symptoms associated with the next higher 70 percent rating, and he was unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as a result of his service-connected disabilities.
