Denied
The Veteran's claim for a temporary total evaluation (100%) due to hospitalization for service-connected PTSD was denied because the treatment received was not consistent with hospital care.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's treatment at the Bath, NY VAMC DRRTP was not consistent with hospital care and thus did not warrant a temporary total evaluation under 38 C.F.R. § 4.29.
