Granted
The Board granted a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD, adjustment disorder, and depression from November 26, 2014, but dismissed the claims for earlier effective dates for a 70 percent rating and TDIU, as well as an earlier effective date for DEA.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated total occupational and social impairment, warranting a higher 100 percent schedular disability rating under Diagnostic Code 9411.
