Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for other specified trauma or stressor related disorder prior to November 14, 2023, and a rating in excess of 50 percent since that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher ratings due to their impact on occupational and social functioning being limited.
