Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an increased disability rating for her service-connected PTSD, finding that the severity of her symptoms did not more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be consistent with occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, but not sufficient to warrant a higher 70 percent rating under the criteria for PTSD.
