The Veteran's PTSD was granted a 70 percent disability rating from November 23, 2023, and TDIU was granted effective October 31, 2014.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but do not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment. The Veteran's service-connected PTSD disability has rendered him unable to gain or maintain employment since October 31, 2014.
