Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a disability rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD with persistent depressive disorder with periodic major depressive episodes and TBI, as the severity, frequency, and duration of her symptoms did not manifest as total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be insufficient to warrant a higher disability rating due to their impact on her occupational and social functioning.
