Dismissed
The appeal for an initial rating greater than 70 percent for PTSD with panic attacks and OCD is dismissed as the Veteran is already receiving a total schedular rating.
The deciding factor: The appeal is moot because the Veteran has received the maximum schedular rating available for his service-connected condition.
