Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher 100 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas but not total impairment as required for a 100 percent rating.
