Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with alcohol use disorder, as the severity of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The frequency, severity, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms were found to be equivalent to those required for a 70 percent rating, resulting in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
