Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is granted an evaluation of 70 percent disabling, but no higher. Other claims for service connection and increased ratings were denied or remanded.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, while other conditions did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating or service connection.
