Granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), finding that his symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least approximately balanced that the severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but his symptoms did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment.
