Partly granted
The Veteran's PTSD was granted an increased rating of 50 percent from July 28, 2023. Other claims for increased ratings were denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of reduced reliability and productivity in occupational and social situations due to PTSD warranted a 50 percent rating, but the evidence did not support higher ratings or additional service-connected conditions.
