Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for revision of an April 2016 rating decision that awarded a 50 percent rating for PTSD and major depressive disorder, finding no clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show suicidal ideation or other symptoms severe enough to warrant a higher rating than 50 percent.
