Partly granted
The veteran's request for a higher rating than 70% for PTSD with residuals of TBI was denied. The claim for service connection for sleep apnea, secondary to the PTSD, was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show total occupational and social impairment required for a 100% rating.
