Partly granted
The Board denied an increased disability evaluation for PTSD but granted an earlier effective date for TDIU of August 6, 2012.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating for PTSD, but his service-connected disabilities prevented him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment as of August 6, 2012.
