Partly granted
The Board denied an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for PTSD prior to October 4, 2017, and granted a 70 percent rating thereafter. Service connection was denied for left-hand tremor but remanded the right-hand tremor claim.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate the criteria for higher ratings or service connection based on the evidence of record.
