Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating higher than 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the evidence did not show total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examination report indicated that the Veteran had occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, which did not meet the criteria for a rating higher than 70 percent.
