Partly granted
The Veteran's PTSD was granted a 100 percent rating effective September 6, 2021, due to symptoms more nearly approximating total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of morbid ruminations, repeated suicide attempts, and agoraphobia were sufficient to render her totally impaired due to PTSD.
