Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on the Veteran's symptoms including suicidal ideation, anger issues, and impaired impulse control.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms, including suicidal ideation, anger issues, and impaired impulse control, warranted a 70 percent rating but not a higher one due to the absence of total occupational and social impairment.
