Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent evaluation for the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), resolving any doubt in favor of the appellant.
The deciding factor: The Veteran exhibited occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood, due to symptoms like difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances. This warranted a 70 percent rating but not higher.
