Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD with alcohol use disorder, cannabis use disorder, and cocaine use disorder from April 26, 2021, and an effective date of the same day for DEA benefits. The claim for TDIU was dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be indicative of total occupational and social impairment, warranting a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD from April 26, 2021.
