The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD but granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms were found to be productive of occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, but not total social or occupational impairment. The evidence supported the grant of TDIU due to the severity of his symptoms affecting his ability to work.
