Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD because the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's ability to maintain relationships and work, along with his participation in therapy, indicated he did not have total occupational and social impairment.
