The Board is reopening the claim on the basis of new and material evidence, but remanding it for further development before readjudicating the claim on the underlying merits.

The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 50 percent prior to October 28, 2014, and in excess of 70 percent from October 28, 2014, to September 11, 2019, for the Veteran's major depressive disorder with eating disorder and PTSD.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities, finding that his combined rating did not meet the schedular criteria and that he was capable of obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment.

The Veteran's anxiety disorder and PTSD are rated at a 70 percent disability level, effective September 6, 2011. The rating is based on the severity of symptoms such as suicidal ideation, difficulty adapting to stressful situations, inability to establish effective relationships, and impaired judgment.

The Veteran's PTSD had been manifested by symptoms with reduced reliability and productivity, but not deficiencies in most areas or total occupational and social impairment. The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the period from September 27, 2016 to March 12, 2020.
