Granted

The Veteran's PTSD was granted a 70 percent rating, but no higher, and TDIU was also granted.

The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, justifying a 70 percent rating. The Veteran's PTSD prevented him from securing or following any substantially gainful occupation, warranting a TDIU.
