Granted
The Veteran was granted an initial disability evaluation of 70 percent for PTSD with alcohol use disorder and a total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence showed occupational and social impairment due to deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking or mood, which warranted the higher ratings.
