Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, as well as a total rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate the level of impairment required for a higher disability rating or TDIU.
