The Board granted an initial 70 percent rating for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, finding that the Veteran's condition more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated occupational and social impairment due to mild or transient symptoms which decrease work efficiency and ability to perform occupational tasks only during periods of significant stress, as well as a good marriage and fair relationships with two of his three children.
