Partly granted
The veteran's effective date for a 100% rating for PTSD was granted as of September 25, 1981. The claim for TDIU beginning September 28, 2017 was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA did not mail the denial letter to the veteran's last known address, rebutting the presumption of regularity.
