Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for PTSD, finding that the evidence did not support ratings higher than those already awarded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be consistent with the assigned 50% and 70% ratings during the relevant time periods, and there was no evidence of total occupational and social impairment.
