Denied
The Board denied a higher rating for PTSD, service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder other than PTSD, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support occupational or social impairment equivalent to what would be caused by symptoms warranting a higher rating for PTSD or additional service-connected psychiatric disorders separate from PTSD.
