Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD and remanded claims for service connection for left shoulder, right shoulder, bilateral foot, left ankle, right ankle, and cervical spine disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, while the evidence was insufficient to establish service connection for the claimed disabilities without further development.
