Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 70 percent rating for bipolar disorder, finding that the reduction from 70 percent to 50 percent was improper.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show sustained material improvement in the Veteran's condition, and the reduction was not supported by the evidence at the time it was made.
