Denied
The Board denied a rating greater than 30 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including VA examinations and treatment records, did not show sufficient symptomatology to warrant a higher rating under the criteria for PTSD.
