Partly granted
The rating reduction from 50 percent to 30 percent for PTSD, effective June 1, 2024, was improper and the 50 percent disability rating is restored. The criteria for a rating more than 50 percent for PTSD from June 1, 2024, have not been met.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work, thus the reduction was improper.
