Granted
The Veteran's PTSD was granted a 70 percent disability rating from June 27, 2011 to February 22, 2017 and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) from June 27, 2011.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the relevant period, and his service-connected disabilities precluded him from securing and following any substantially gainful employment.
