The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms did not cause occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks due to such symptoms as depressed mood, anxiety, suspiciousness, panic attacks (weekly or less often), chronic sleep impairment, mild memory loss, but not enough to warrant a higher rating.
