Granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD was granted a rating of 70 percent, and earlier effective dates were granted for TDIU and Dependents' Educational Assistance.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's symptoms of PTSD caused significant occupational and social impairment, warranting a 70 percent rating. The Board also found that his service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation from March 12, 2010.
