Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 70 percent for PTSD from April 30, 2015, and denied a higher rating. The Board also granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities from the same date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but not total social impairment or persistent danger of hurting self or others.
