Denied
The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those associated with a 70 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms did not rise to the level required for a higher rating.
