Denied
The Board denied a higher rating for PTSD, concluding that the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant a disability rating of 70 percent or higher.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those associated with a 50 percent rating and resulted in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
