Denied
The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 70 percent for the service-connected PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms did not more nearly approximate total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support assignment of a higher rating as it was consistent with the criteria for a 70 percent rating but below those required for a 100 percent rating.
