The Board granted a disability rating of 70 percent for other specified trauma or stressor related disorder, as well as entitlement to TDIU and SMC at the housebound rate.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood, which warranted a 70 percent rating under the General Formula for Mental Disorders. The evidence also supported entitlement to TDIU due to service-connected disabilities and SMC at the housebound rate.
