Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request to restore a 70 percent rating for PTSD and major depressive disorder, effective November 1, 2022. The decision was based on evidence showing an actual improvement in the veteran's disability that would continue under ordinary conditions of life and work.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the weight of the most probative evidence showed sustained improvement in the veteran's symptoms and occupational functioning.
