The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 70 percent for their psychiatric disability, finding that the symptoms did not result in total social and occupational impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be contemplated by the 70 percent rating criteria, as there was no evidence of gross impairment in thought process or communication, persistent danger to self or others, obsessional rituals, delusions, hallucinations, disorientation, or inability to perform activities of daily living.
