Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 70 percent for PTSD, but no greater.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood, which warranted a 70 percent evaluation.
