Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the evidence did not support symptoms rising to the level required for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximated those associated with a 70 percent rating rather than the criteria for a 100 percent rating.
