Is this from a decision you received? Or from a C & P exam results?

The VA will service connected specified trauma disorder , if the veteran has a proven link to their service for the disorder.

If you have an established Nexus ( meaning the link, cause, event) in your SMRs and/or in service Personnel records, they VA will consider your claim on that basis.

There were only 2 claims under a BVA search ( above) that had this phrase in them as to "other specified stress disorder"but other claims for PTSD can be awarded with a different MH diagnosis.

There really is not enough info here to determine what your  claim is all about-or to give any estimate of a rating.
