Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 30 percent for service-connected unspecified trauma and stressor-related disorder prior to August 11, 2022, finding that the evidence did not support an increased rating. The Board also remanded the claim for service connection for right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to their severity and frequency being insufficient to warrant a 50 percent or greater rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
