Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for PTSD with MDD, service connection for erectile dysfunction as secondary to the service-connected condition, and SMC based on the need for regular aid and attendance. However, it denied SMC based on housebound status.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's symptoms of occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas due to PTSD with MDD, and the impact of these symptoms on his daily life and relationships.
