Denied
The Board denied an initial rating more than 50 percent for PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms resulted in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity but not deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to the absence of specific symptoms such as suicidal ideation or near-continuous panic or depression affecting his ability to function independently, appropriately, and effectively.
