Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD due to his failure to report for an examination without good cause.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to attend a scheduled VA examination, and there was no evidence submitted by him that could be used to evaluate the severity of his condition during the period on appeal.
