Partly granted
The Board granted an evaluation of 50 percent for PTSD and remanded the claims for service connection for a left knee disability and lumbar spine condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD manifested in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, warranting a 50 percent rating. The evidence did not support a higher rating or service connection for the other conditions.
