Granted
The Board granted an initial evaluation of 50 percent for PTSD and panic disorder, as the Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's symptoms resulted in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, which warrants a 50 percent evaluation.
