Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD, finding the Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not indicate that the Veteran had total occupational and social impairment as contemplated by the 100 percent rating criteria.
