Denied
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 50 percent for PTSD with MDD and denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating or an earlier effective date, as they resulted in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity but not deficiencies in most areas.
