The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for PTSD from October 31, 2017 to January 22, 2020 and also granted TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's PTSD resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, consistent with a 70 percent disability rating for the period prior to October 31, 2017. Additionally, the evidence persuasively favors finding that the Veteran was unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities.
