Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant a disability rating higher than 50 percent.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, which is consistent with a 50 percent rating but not sufficient for a higher rating.
