Denied
The Board denied entitlement to evaluations greater than 30 percent for service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a total disability rating based on individual employability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate the criteria for higher ratings, as they resulted in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity but did not meet the criteria for deficiencies in most areas or total occupational and social impairment.
