Partly granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 50% rating for PTSD effective January 1, 2020 to December 30, 2021 and an earlier effective date of December 30, 2021 for a 70% evaluation for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran had good cause for his failure to report for VA examinations and there was no improvement in his ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
