Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for PTSD from July 21, 2020, and remanded the claim for basic eligibility for Chapter 35 DEA based on permanent and total disability status prior to November 2, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating. The Board remanded the claim for DEA eligibility as it is now relevant given the favorable decision on service connection for PTSD.
