Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of the 20 percent rating for cervical strain with myositis effective July 14, 2016. The claims for increased ratings for unspecified anxiety disorder and hepatitis C were remanded.
The deciding factor: The reduction was improper due to insufficient evidence showing improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
