Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating greater than 70 percent for his service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptomology was not found to be manifest by total occupational and social impairment, thus a higher rating of 100 percent was not warranted.
