The Board granted a 70 percent rating for the period from March 17, 2022, to May 11, 2023, for PTSD with unspecified anxiety disorder and denied ratings in excess of 50 percent and 70 percent for other periods.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms during the relevant periods most closely approximated the criteria for a 70 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 9411, but did not reflect total occupational and social impairment due to symptoms such as gross impairment in thought processes or communication, persistent delusions or hallucinations, etc.
