Denied
The Board denied an initial disability rating greater than 30 percent for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, finding the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's symptoms were productive of occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks, but not enough to warrant a rating greater than 30 percent.
