Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder with traumatic brain injury was granted an evaluation of 70 percent disabling, while other claims were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claim for a higher rating for PTSD due to its impact on occupational and social functioning, but other conditions did not meet the criteria for service connection or increased ratings.
