Granted
The Veteran's claim for a rating of total disability due to individual unemployability (TDIU) based solely upon effects of service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and special monthly compensation (SMC) at the statutory housebound rate were granted, effective February 10, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced to suggest that the Veteran has been unemployable due solely to effects of his service-connected PTSD during this appellate period, and he satisfies legal criteria for SMC at the statutory housebound rate effective February 10, 2021.
