The veteran's service-connected paranoid schizophrenia with PTSD is rated at 100 percent disabling as of March 26, 1991. The temporary total disability rating under the provisions of 38 C.F.R. § 4.29 based on a period of hospitalization in June and July 1993 remains granted.
The deciding factor: The veteran's service-connected psychiatric disability has been manifested by persistent auditory hallucinations, danger to himself or others, memory loss, and inability to work since March 1991.
