Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher initial rating of PTSD, finding that his symptoms did not warrant a rating in excess of 50 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to cause occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, but not deficiencies in most areas as required for a 70 percent rating.
