Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 70 percent for his mental health disorder, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms and social/occupational impairment were found to be consistent with the criteria for a 70 percent rating but not sufficient to warrant an increase to 100 percent.
