The Board granted a 70 percent evaluation for PTSD with unspecified depressive disorder with anxious distress, but remanded claims for service connection for restless leg syndrome, erectile dysfunction, and irritable bowel syndrome.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood warranted a 70 percent evaluation. However, the Board found that additional evidence was needed to properly adjudicate the claims for service connection for restless leg syndrome, erectile dysfunction, and irritable bowel syndrome.
