Partly granted
The Veteran's PTSD was granted a higher evaluation of 70 percent for the period prior to October 29, 2019, but an increased rating greater than 70 percent from that date and all other claims were denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated a 70 percent rating due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, while the evidence did not support a higher or additional ratings for his diabetes mellitus type II and associated conditions.
