Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those associated with a 50 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms did not rise to the level required for a higher disability rating.
