Denied
The Board denied the claims for increased ratings for posttraumatic stress disorder with depressed mood and tension headaches due to the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled medical examinations without good cause.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to report for necessary medical examinations, which resulted in a denial of her claims as there was no evidence to evaluate the current severity of her service-connected conditions.
