Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD and special monthly compensation (SMC) based on housebound status, but denied an increased rating for asthma.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms were found to be more severe than those required for a 70 percent rating, warranting a 100 percent rating. The evidence did not support an increased rating for asthma beyond the current 30 percent rating.
