Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 70 percent disability rating for PTSD prior to December 26, 2023, but denied a higher rating from that date to August 13, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of PTSD caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating, but did not result in total occupational and social impairment, precluding an increased rating.
