Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD, as the evidence did not show symptoms that would warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be insufficient to meet the criteria for a 100 percent rating, and his impairment was recognized by the current 70 percent rating.
