Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms that caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood, which warranted a 70 percent rating under the General Formula for Mental Disorders.
