Denied
The Board denied a rating higher than 50 percent for PTSD with alcohol use disorder since March 3, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating of 70 percent or 100 percent as they did not result in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
