Granted
The Veteran's posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with major depressive disorder and alcohol use is granted a 70 percent disability rating for the entire period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but do not rise to the level of total impairment.
