Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating for her acquired psychiatric disorder, service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder, and entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated the criteria required for a higher rating or that she was unable to secure and follow substantially gainful employment due to her service-connected disabilities.
