Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 50 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder due to insufficient evidence supporting a higher level of impairment.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms did not meet the criteria for a disability rating in excess of 50 percent as they were most consistent with a 50 percent rating.
