Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD and denied an earlier effective date. The claims for service connection for various conditions were remanded.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms resulted in total occupational and social impairment, warranting a 100 percent rating. An earlier effective date was not supported by the evidence.
