Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for a total rating was denied, but a 70% rating for PTSD and TDIU were granted effective September 30, 2017.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's psychiatric disability did not result in total impairment prior to November 22, 2022, but did result in unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
