Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 70 percent rating for PTSD, effective September 30, 2020, as the evidence did not show improvement in this disability that would be maintained under ordinary conditions of life and work.
The deciding factor: The reduction was improper because the Veteran continued to experience symptoms such as irritability, angry outbursts, memory issues, sleep issues, and anxiety, which are more severe than those contemplated by a 30 percent rating.
