Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for PTSD and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities, effective July 27, 2017.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas were found to be more nearly approximating the criteria for a 70 percent rating under the General Formula for Mental Disorders.
