Denied
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the evidence did not show occupational and social impairment more closely approximating total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms, while significant, did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to the lack of evidence showing total occupational and social impairment.
