Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial rating higher than 50 percent for PTSD, finding that his symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not show the Veteran experienced symptoms of the type and severity contemplated by the 70 percent rating. His symptoms were not sufficient to indicate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
