Partly granted
The veteran's PTSD rating was denied an increase, but the claims for service connection of right and left ankle injuries were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher disability rating for PTSD, and the medical opinions on the ankle injuries were inadequate.
