Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's foot and knee disabilities, granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD and MDD, and remanded claims for service connection for asthma and diabetes mellitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's left and right foot and knee disabilities manifested with only moderate symptomatology, while her mental health condition was found to be total occupational and social impairment.
