Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with major depressive disorder, but not higher.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence indicated the Veteran's symptoms most nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas; however, they did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment.
