Denied
The Board denied the appeal for reduction in rating for PTSD from 70% to 50%, and termination of TDIU and DEA benefits, as it was determined that the Veteran's claims were based on fraudulent representations.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated intentional misrepresentation by the Veteran regarding his employment status and severity of PTSD symptoms, which led to an erroneous award or retention of VA benefits.
