Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but no higher, based on the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms causing occupational and social impairment in most areas.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's PTSD caused him significant occupational and social impairment, warranting a 70 percent rating under the General Formula for Mental Disorders.
