Denied
The Board denied an initial disability rating greater than 50 percent for PTSD, finding that the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not show the Veteran's PTSD resulted in total occupational and social impairment, or occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
