Denied
The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected PTSD and remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for depression and anxiety.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, which is consistent with a 70 percent rating. The Board found that the evidence did not support a higher rating or service connection for depression and anxiety.
