Partly granted
The appeal for a higher rating for PTSD was denied, while the claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II was remanded due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of PTSD did not meet the criteria for a higher disability rating. The claim for diabetes mellitus, type II required an addendum medical opinion regarding secondary service connection.
