Granted
The Board granted an increased initial rating of 70 percent for PTSD, but denied a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas throughout the period on appeal, warranting a 70 percent rating, but not total occupational and social impairment justifying a TDIU.
