Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for the service-connected PTSD from August 23, 2019 to January 24, 2025, but denied an increased rating in excess of 70 percent for the entire period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the specified period, but not total occupational and social impairment at any time.
