Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of April 25, 2022, for service connection for PTSD and denied a higher initial rating for PTSD as well as entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms associated with his PTSD more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas but not total occupational and social impairment.
