Denied
The Board denied an increased evaluation for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during the period on appeal, finding that the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant a rating in excess of 70 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but not total occupational and social impairment, which is required for a higher rating under the applicable criteria.
