Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for PTSD, finding the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant a higher evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD was found to be primarily manifested by mild to moderate symptomatology, including depression, anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbance, and mild memory loss, which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
