The Board has granted a 100 percent rating for the veteran's schizophrenia, undifferentiated type, finding that his symptoms warrant such a rating due to total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in relative equipoise as to whether the veteran's schizophrenic reaction, undifferentiated type, results in total occupational and social impairment, which meets the criteria for a 100 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 9204.

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board dismissed the Veteran's motion for revision of a December 1969 rating decision that denied service connection for schizophrenic reaction, paranoid type based on clear and unmistakable error (CUE) because there was no evidence to establish such error. The correct facts were not before the adjudicator as the RO applied the law extant at the time.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not result in a loss or loss of use of one or both lower extremities, and he is therefore ineligible for specially adapted housing or home adaptation grants.
- Denied
The appeal for an effective date earlier than December 3, 1998, for the grant of service connection for schizophrenic reaction was denied.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the September 1968 rating decision denying service connection for schizophrenic reaction was clearly and unmistakably erroneous, and thus reversed. Service connection on a presumptive basis is granted.
