Partly granted
The Board restored the 70 percent rating for PTSD and denied a rating in excess of 70 percent. The Board remanded several service connection claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show an actual improvement in the Veteran's disability as it pertains to the ability to function under the ordinary conditions of life and work, thus the reduction was improper.
