Granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD was granted an initial 70 percent evaluation, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) effective July 18, 2011.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the Veteran's symptoms of occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas due to PTSD, which more closely align with a 70 percent evaluation rather than a higher or lower rating.
