Granted
The Veteran's PTSD was granted a 50 percent rating prior to June 28, 2023, due to occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed symptoms such as depressed mood, anxiety, chronic sleep impairment, and impaired impulse control, which were consistent with the criteria for a 50 percent rating but not higher.
