Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent evaluation for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) throughout the entire appeal period, as the Veteran's psychiatric symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more nearly approximated the criteria for a 70 percent evaluation, including suicidal ideation, while not showing total occupational and social impairment.
