Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a rating in excess of 50 percent for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and service connection for cervicalgia/trapezius strain.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's PTSD resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, or that his cervicalgia/trapezius strain was incurred in or aggravated by active service.
