Denied
The appeal for a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD was denied due to the Veteran's failure to appear for a scheduled VA examination without good cause.
The deciding factor: The claim was denied as a matter of law because the Veteran failed to show good cause for missing the scheduled VA examination and no new evidence was provided to support an increased rating.
