Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD and dismissed the appeal for an earlier effective date for TDIU due to procedural defects, while remanding the claim for DEA eligibility.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not cause total occupational and social impairment as required for a higher rating; the appeal for an earlier effective date for TDIU was dismissed due to procedural issues; and the DEA eligibility claim is remanded due to its interwoven nature with the TDIU claim.
