Partly granted
The veteran was granted a 100% disability rating for PTSD and special monthly compensation based on housebound criteria. The claim for total disability rating based on individual unemployability was dismissed as moot, and the veteran was granted a 40 percent disability rating for diabetes mellitus.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms approximating total occupational and social impairment.
