Granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD is granted a rating of 70 percent, and TDIU and SMC are granted effective July 8, 2013.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected PTSD has precluded him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation since July 8, 2013, warranting a total disability rating and special monthly compensation.
