Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 70 percent for PTSD, but no higher, for the entire period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, including work, family relations, judgment, or mood; symptoms that approximate the criteria for a 70 percent rating, but not higher.
