The Board granted a 70 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, finding that the evidence supports this level of disability for the entire appeal period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran exhibited occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas due to symptoms such as anxiety, panic attacks, chronic sleep impairment, mild memory loss, disturbances of motivation and mood, and difficulty establishing effective work and social relationships, which are consistent with a 70 percent rating but not more.
