Partly granted
The veteran's total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected PTSD was granted an earlier effective date of September 11, 2020. The issue of entitlement to TDIU from April 19, 2011, to September 11, 2020, is remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's service-connected PTSD prevented him from securing and following a substantially gainful occupation since September 11, 2020.
