Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and panic disorder, finding the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD and panic disorder symptoms were found to be more consistent with occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas but less than total social and occupational impairment.
