Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an increased disability evaluation for service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), currently rated as 30 percent, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examination and private medical records indicated mild or transient symptoms of anxiety during periods of significant stress, without evidence of more severe impairment such as suicidal ideation, hallucinations, or memory loss.
