Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for posttraumatic stress disorder with alcohol use disorder, as the Veteran's symptoms are commensurate with those associated with this rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms, including panic attacks and memory loss, align with the criteria for a 70 percent rating but not total occupational and social impairment.
