Granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but no higher, effective from the date of the last increase to a 50 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms and impairment more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
