Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent evaluation for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD and other specified trauma and stressor disorder and alcohol use disorder, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent evaluation under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
