The Veteran's bipolar disorder did not meet the criteria for a disability rating in excess of 70 percent, as his symptoms did not more nearly approximate total occupational and social impairment.

The Veteran's claims for service connection of PTSD and bipolar disorder were denied as there is no current diagnosis of PTSD, and the Board found that his bipolar disorder was not caused by an in-service adjustment disorder.
