Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating for posttraumatic stress disorder, finding that the severity of his symptoms did not warrant a 100 percent schedular rating and were more consistent with a 70 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity but did not result in total occupational and social impairment as required for a 100 percent rating.
