Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for PTSD, restored the prior 50 percent disability rating for adjustment disorder with mixed depression and anxiety, chronic, with panic attacks, granted a 70 percent initial rating for acquired psychiatric disability, and granted TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of PTSD or show actual improvement in symptoms to justify the reduction in the disability rating.
