Denied
The Board determined that the reduction in the disability rating from 30 percent to noncompensable for an acquired psychiatric disability was proper, as there was evidence of improvement under ordinary conditions of life.
The deciding factor: Improvement in symptoms and ability to function under ordinary conditions of life were demonstrated through examination reports and medical records.
