Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a respiratory disorder and increased disability ratings for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record did not support the presence of a current respiratory disorder, and the Veteran's PTSD symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher disability ratings or TDIU.
