Denied
The Board denied an evaluation higher than 50 percent for PTSD and remanded the claim for service connection for a respiratory disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, which would be required for a rating of 70 percent or higher for PTSD. The respiratory disorder claim was remanded due to an inadequate medical opinion.
