Denied
The Board denied the reduction of the rating for service-connected stroke from 100 percent to 10 percent, and granted service connection for adjustment disorder as a residual of the stroke.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's adjustment disorder was secondary to his service-connected stroke.
