Partly granted
The veteran's PTSD rating was restored to 50% and an increased rating in excess of 70% for PTSD is granted. The claim for glaucoma and its effective date were denied, and the issue of erectile dysfunction was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the reduction in the veteran's PTSD rating was improper due to lack of sustained improvement.
