Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 70 percent for PTSD, but no higher.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood, which is consistent with a 70 percent rating under the criteria for PTSD.
