Granted
The Board granted restoration of service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the severance of the claim by VA was not proper.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the December 2017 rating decision granting service connection for PTSD was not clearly and unmistakably erroneous, as the appellant's discharge upgrade to General under Honorable conditions was effective prior to April 5, 1977, which removes any bar to VA benefits.
