Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for PTSD, but denied compensable ratings for umbilical hernia, nephrolithiasis, and dermatitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, while the other conditions did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
