The Board granted a 50 percent evaluation for PTSD from September 27, 2018 to the present and denied service connection for skin disorder, left knee disability, and right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's skin disorders, left knee disability, and right knee disability were not etiologically related to his active duty service. However, resolving all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, his PTSD more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
