Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for right knee, left knee, and bilateral foot disabilities but granted restoration of the 50 percent disability rating for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show current disabilities related to the knees or feet. For PTSD, there was an improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions.
