Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for PTSD and adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, finding that the Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a 70 percent rating based on the Veteran's reported symptoms and functional impairments, which more closely approximated the criteria for this rating level.
