Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for an increased disability rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD with other specified depressive disorder, finding that his symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment, with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to their frequency, severity, and duration not aligning with those required for a 100 percent rating.
