Granted
The Board granted a rating of 50 percent, but no higher, for PTSD and major depressive disorder prior to June 18, 2018.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms showed occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks, which more closely approximated the criteria for a 50 percent rating under the General Formula for Mental Disorders.
