Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 70 percent for service-connected PTSD, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a higher 70 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 9411.
