Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 70 percent rating for PTSD and major depressive disorder, finding that the reduction was improper.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not reflect an actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work, and the AOJ failed to consider and apply the provisions of 38 C.F.R. § 3.344.
