Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent initial rating for the Veteran's unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder based on evidence of occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including suicidal ideation, near continuous panic, and difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances, were found to be more closely aligned with a 70 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
