Partly granted
The veteran was granted a 70 percent initial rating for PTSD from December 19, 2011, to May 18, 2023, and an earlier effective date for TDIU was vacated.
The deciding factor: The evidence more nearly approximates the criteria for a 70 percent rating due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the specified period.
