Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD and an effective date of July 5, 2018, for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on housebound criteria. Service connection was also granted for vertigo but denied for a vision disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psychiatric symptoms were found to be equivalent to total occupational and social impairment, warranting the highest rating. The Board also found that the Veteran's vertigo is secondary to his service-connected migraine disability.
