Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for PTSD with residuals of TBI, as the Veteran's symptoms align with occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be consistent with a 70 percent rating under DC 9411 due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but not total occupational and social impairment.
