Dismissed
The appeal regarding the reduction in the disability rating for service-connected PTSD from 70 percent to 50 percent, effective April 1, 2021, was dismissed due to a full grant of benefits in a subsequent VA Rating Decision.
The deciding factor: The issue is no longer before the Board as it has been fully resolved by a subsequent rating decision granting the higher rating sought.
