Granted
The Board granted an effective date of August 15, 2007, for the grant of a 70 percent evaluation for PTSD and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, it was factually ascertainable that an increase in severity of the Veteran's service-connected PTSD occurred as of August 15, 2007, and he has been unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to service-connected PTSD since that date.
