Granted
The Veteran was granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD, an effective total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU), and Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits, all effective October 29, 2019.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's PTSD symptoms caused total occupational and social impairment from October 29, 2019, which met the criteria for a maximum 100 percent rating. Additionally, his combined disabilities rendered him unable to obtain and maintain employment, supporting the grant of TDIU.
