The Veteran's anxiety disorder NOS previously claimed as PTSD resulted in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity from November 15, 2006 to August 18, 2011. The Board granted a 50 percent rating for this period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran’s contemporaneous reports of symptoms such as depression, nervousness, sleep impairment, nightmares, impaired memory, and flashbacks more closely approximated the criteria for a 50 percent evaluation under Diagnostic Code 9411.
