Granted
The Board granted an initial 50 percent rating for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but no higher, based on the Veteran's symptomatology.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD was found to be more nearly approximating occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, warranting a 50 percent rating under the General Formula for Mental Disorders.
