Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for PTSD with opioid use disorder, sedative-hypnotics use disorder, alcohol use disorder, and tobacco use disorder due to the Veteran's occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively demonstrated that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
