Granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD from May 9, 2024, due to total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The private examiner's findings of persistent delusions or hallucinations, and intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living were more persuasive than the VA examiner's findings.
