Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 70 percent evaluation for PTSD and an effective date of November 8, 2020, for DEA eligibility but had his TDIU claim denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms affecting most areas of his life, including work and social relationships, without meeting the criteria for a total disability evaluation or TDIU.
