Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for PTSD and granted a 50 percent rating for major depressive disorder with anxious distress and other specified trauma- and stressor-related disorder from March 19, 2024.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms during the review period beginning March 19, 2024, most closely approximated occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
