Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an increased rating for PTSD, finding that his symptoms did not warrant a higher disability rating.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms more closely approximate those associated with a 50 percent rating rather than a 70 percent or higher rating.
