Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for PTSD and a TDIU, and remanded several service connection claims.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher disability rating or TDIU due to their impact on occupational and social functioning being more consistent with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks.
