Granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with alcohol use disorder, as it meets the criteria for occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including anxiety, chronic sleep impairment, and disturbances of motivation and mood, caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, justifying a 70 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
