Partly granted
The Veteran was granted an effective date of January 31, 2019, for the award of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU), but his claim for a higher rating for PTSD was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psychiatric disorder caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but did not meet the criteria for a 100 percent rating.
