Denied
The Board denied a disability rating greater than 30 percent for PTSD, finding the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner reported that the Veteran had occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform certain actions or tasks, which more closely resembled the criteria for a 30 percent rating rather than those for a higher rating.
