Partly granted
The veteran's request for a rating higher than 70% for PTSD with TBI was denied, but they were granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disability starting from April 11, 2019.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the Veteran's symptoms did not cause the level of impairment required for a disability rating of 100 percent but met the criteria for TDIU.
