Denied
The Board denied a disability rating greater than 50 percent for PTSD and a total disability rating based on individual employability (TDIU) prior to July 6, 2020.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be consistent with occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, which supported the current 50 percent rating. There was no evidence of deficiencies in most areas that would warrant a higher rating or TDIU.
