The veteran's delusional disorder, grandiose type (with schizoid personality disorder) did not warrant a rating in excess of 50 percent from November 7, 2005, to October 4, 2007. However, since October 5, 2007, the criteria for a 70 percent rating have been met.
The deciding factor: The veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating until after October 5, 2007, when deficiencies in most areas were reasonably shown to be present.
