Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for service-connected PTSD and TDIU from January 1, 2020, but denied TDIU prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating. However, the evidence did not show he was unable to maintain substantially gainful employment prior to January 1, 2020, for TDIU purposes.
