Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of August 16, 2022 for the award of a 100 percent rating for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and special monthly compensation (SMC), but dismissed the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) prior to November 28, 2023 as moot.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's symptoms were equivalent to occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks, which supported an effective date of August 16, 2022 for a 100 percent rating for PTSD.
