Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD with major depressive disorder and insomnia disorder, but remanded the claims for service connection for chronic sinusitis, cervical spine disability, and left great toe disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to occupational and social impairment in most areas, while the claims for service connection were remanded for further development of the evidence regarding her periods of active duty and associated treatment records.
