Denied
The Board denied the appeal for reducing the PTSD rating from 100% to 70% and discontinuing special monthly compensation based on statutory housebound status.
The deciding factor: The evidence established material improvement of the Veteran's PTSD condition, which supported the reduction in rating and discontinuation of SMC.
