Denied
The Board denied an initial rating for PTSD (to include anxiety and depression) as the severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be more indicative of a 70 percent rating rather than a higher 100 percent rating due to the lack of evidence showing total occupational and social impairment.
