Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for PTSD for the appeal period prior to September 12, 2019 and a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD for the appeal period beginning on January 27, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher ratings during the relevant periods as his impairment was not sufficient to warrant a higher rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
