Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for the Veteran's service-connected PTSD and denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of PTSD more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but not total occupational and social impairment. There was no evidence of a current hearing loss disability as defined by VA standards.
