Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for PTSD from August 5, 2021, as the evidence did not show occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be mild or transient, decreasing work efficiency only during periods of significant stress. His relationships remained intact, though he preferred smaller groups due to social anxiety.
