Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and remanded the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based upon individual employability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD did not result in total occupational and social impairment, but rather caused deficiencies in most areas such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood.
