Granted
The Board granted an initial 70 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximate the criteria for a 70 percent rating, but no higher, due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, including work, judgment, thinking, and mood.
