The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 70 percent for service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show symptoms such as gross impairment in thought processes or communication, persistent delusions or hallucinations, grossly inappropriate behavior, disorientation to time or place, or memory loss for names of close relatives, own occupation, or own name that would more nearly approximate a higher 100 percent disability.
