The Board denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD, insomnia, memory loss, and TBI residuals.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating as they resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood due to symptoms like depression, anxiety, sleep impairment, mild memory loss, disturbances of motivation and mood, difficulty establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships, difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances, obsessional rituals interfering with routine activities, but no suicidal or homicidal ideation.
