Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for PTSD and depression was granted. However, higher ratings for PTSD, left ankle subluxing peroneal tendon, and temporary total rating for right ankle were denied. Some issues were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant a higher rating than 50 percent for PTSD.
