Partly granted
The veteran's PTSD rating was increased to 50% but no higher. The issue of total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was remanded for further consideration.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms more closely approximated a 50 percent rating due to reduced reliability and productivity.
