Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD as the Veteran's symptoms did not result in total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran maintained full-time employment, had a relationship with his partner, and strong relationships with his children. While he experienced thoughts of suicide, it was not shown to cause total occupational and social impairment.
