Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for PTSD with major depressive disorder, a total rating based on individual unemployability prior to October 31, 2023, and eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance prior to the same date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, justifying a 70 percent rating. The evidence also showed that his service-connected PTSD alone rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment, warranting TDIU.
