Partly granted
The Board denied a rating higher than 70 percent for PTSD prior to October 24, 2023, and remanded claims for TDIU and an earlier effective date for DEA.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not cause the level of impairment required for a disability rating of 100 percent; they more closely approximated the symptoms associated with a 70 percent rating.
