Granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD and special monthly compensation (SMC) based on statutory housebound status.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of PTSD, including total occupational and social impairment, warranted the highest rating. Additionally, he met the criteria for SMC due to his single service-connected disability rated at 100 percent and additional disabilities independently ratable at 60 percent or more.
