Denied
The Board denied a higher disability rating for PTSD, finding the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a 100 percent rating due to the absence of total occupational and social impairment as required by the rating schedule.
