The Board denied service connection for HIV or an autoimmune disability and denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not reach relative equipoise that the Veteran had HIV or an autoimmune disorder current during the period on appeal, and the evidence was persuasively against finding that the Veteran's PTSD more nearly approximated total occupational and social impairment during the periods on appeal from July 11, 2023 through December 13, 2023 and December 14, 2023 through August 20, 2024.
