Denied
The Board denied a rating more than 50 percent for PTSD and service connection for hypothyroidism.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, or that the Veteran's hypothyroidism was due to an intercurrent injury or disease rather than presumed in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
