Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD, special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance, and special monthly compensation based on housebound status.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show total occupational and social impairment necessary to support a higher rating for PTSD or that the veteran required regular aid and attendance due to her service-connected disability.
