Partly granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to PTSD effective January 29, 2015, but denied a higher rating for the Veteran's PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, as they caused reduced reliability and productivity but not total occupational and social impairment. However, his symptoms prevented him from performing substantially gainful employment since January 29, 2015.
