Partly granted
The Board denied a higher rating for PTSD but granted TDIU and an effective date of October 2, 2020, for DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not cause the level of impairment required for a disability rating of 100 percent; however, his service-connected disabilities prevented him from engaging in substantially gainful employment, warranting TDIU.
