The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating or TDIU, as his impairment was described as occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks, although generally functioning satisfactorily, with normal routine behavior, self-care, and conversation.
