The Board denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD and granted an increased rating to 50 percent for headaches during the specified periods.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment, but they were consistent with a 70 percent rating. The Veteran experienced very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability during the period from September 18, 2019 to December 19, 2024.
