Partly granted
The Board denied a rating higher than 70 percent for PTSD and remanded issues related to TBI and cirrhosis of the liver with hepatitis C.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher disability rating due to their severity, frequency, and duration being more closely approximated by occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but not total occupational and social impairment.
