Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms did not result in total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be insufficient to warrant a higher rating due to their impact on his ability to function socially and occupationally.
