The veteran's request for a higher disability rating for PTSD and TBI was denied. However, the veteran was granted TDIU from February 23, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the criteria for a rating higher than 70 percent for PTSD and residuals of TBI have not been met, but the veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to obtain or maintain a substantially gainful occupation consistent with his education and work history from February 23, 2022.
