The Board granted a 50 percent disability rating for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder but denied a higher rating for asthma.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, including disturbances of motivation and mood, memory loss, difficulty in understanding complex commands, impaired judgment, panic attacks more than once a week, and difficulty in establishing effective work and social relationships, approximated the criteria for a 50 percent rating.
