Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD and an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for a right ankle sprain.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating due to the Veteran's ability to maintain relationships, employment prior to disability from stroke, and limited functional impairment.
