Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal to reverse a rating reduction for TBI with stuttering and PTSD with alcohol use disorder in sustained remission, from a 100% rating to a 50% rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the May 2021 rating decision assigning a 100% rating was erroneous and the reduction to 50% was proper based on the evidence.
