Granted
The veteran's PTSD rating was restored to 50 percent. The reduction to 30 percent was not based on actual improvement in the veteran's ability to function.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's PTSD did not show actual improvement under ordinary conditions of life and work, warranting restoration of the 50 percent rating.
