Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an increased disability rating for PTSD beyond 70%. The decision was based on the evidence showing that while the veteran experiences significant symptoms, they do not meet the criteria for a 100% rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those associated with a 70 percent rating rather than a 100 percent rating.
