Dismissed
The appeal for a higher initial disability rating for PTSD was dismissed because the issue had already been decided in a final Board decision. The Veteran is currently receiving a 100% rating for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to the finality of a previous Board decision on the same matter.
