The Veteran's PTSD with memory loss was granted a rating of 30 percent for the period from December 27, 2004 to April 2, 2007.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated a 30 percent evaluation for occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks (although generally functioning satisfactorily, with routine behavior, self-care, and conversation normal).
