Denied
The Board denied a higher rating for PTSD with MDD, finding the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those of a 70 percent rating rather than a 100 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms did not rise to the level required for a 100 percent rating.
