Granted
The Board granted an increased disability rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, finding that the severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including depressed mood, anxiety, suspiciousness, chronic sleep impairment, difficulty establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships, and impaired impulse control, were found to correspond to a 70 percent rating under the criteria for PTSD.
