Partly granted
The reduction in the disability rating for PTSD from 50 percent to 30 percent was improper, so the 50 percent rating is reinstated. However, a rating higher than 50 percent is denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not reflect an actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
