Granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms and level of impairment more nearly approximated total social and occupational impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including suicidal ideation, impaired impulse control, and an inability to establish and maintain effective relationships, caused a total occupational and social impairment, warranting a 100 percent rating.
