Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for PTSD but granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, but he was unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities.
