Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent disability rating for PTSD based on the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms that caused reduced reliability and productivity.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, which aligns with a 50 percent rating under the General Formula for Mental Disorders.
