Partly granted
The veteran's PTSD rating was denied an increase beyond 50%. The claim for a higher rating for pancreatitis was remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's PTSD caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, and the VA examination for pancreatitis was deemed inadequate.
