Denied
The Board denied an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with generalized anxiety disorder and chronic insomnia, finding that the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms did not more nearly approximate occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not indicate a level of occupational and social impairment sufficient to warrant a higher rating under the General Formula for Mental Disorders.
