Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 40 percent disability rating for chronic prostatitis but denied higher ratings for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with traumatic brain injury and cervical strain.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's voiding dysfunction more nearly approximates a 40 percent disability rating based on urinary frequency with a daytime interval of less than 1 hour, while the evidence does not support a higher rating for PTSD or cervical strain.
