Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD caused occupational and social impairment in most areas, but did not result in total occupational and social impairment. An effective date of June 5, 2017, was granted for a TDIU and DEA.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's service-connected PTSD prevented him from having the ability to perform employment effective June 5, 2017, but no earlier.
