Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for an increased disability evaluation in excess of 50 percent for PTSD, finding that his symptoms did not warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be more closely aligned with the criteria for a 50 percent rating rather than a higher one due to occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity but not deficiencies in most areas or total occupational and social impairment.
