Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a rating higher than 70% for PTSD, finding that while the veteran experiences significant impairment, it does not meet the criteria for a 100% rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms, including severe suicidal ideation and impaired impulse control, did not cause total occupational and social impairment as required for a 100% rating.
