Denied
The Board denied an initial increased rating in excess of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms, while severe, did not result in total occupational and social impairment, nor did they rise to the level required for a 100 percent rating.
