Granted
The veteran's PTSD rating was increased to 70% and service connection for a right hand injury secondary to PTSD was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating.
