Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, finding that his symptoms did not warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD manifested with occupational and social impairment, but not to the extent required for a 100 percent rating. Suicidal ideation was present, but not persistent or at the severity of a 100 percent rating.
