The Board granted an initial 70 percent evaluation for posttraumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder with anxious distress, and insomnia disorder.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record reflects that the Veteran's PTSD, major depressive disorder with anxious distress, and insomnia disorder most closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas throughout the period on appeal, and without total occupational and social impairment.
