Partly granted
The veteran is granted an effective date of February 16, 2011 for TDIU and DEA. The veteran is also granted a 50 percent rating for psychiatric disability prior to May 17, 2016, and a 30 percent rating for GERD from May 26, 2018 to September 16, 2020. Other ratings were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran met the schedular requirements for TDIU as of February 16, 2011, and was rendered unable to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities.
