The Veteran's psychotic disorder NOS has been granted a 100% disability rating since August 29, 2013. The issue of an earlier effective date for this rating is moot.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran’s symptoms have resulted in total occupational and social impairment due to his psychotic disorder NOS.

What this means for you
A grant means the Board allowed the benefit or issue identified in this decision. Review the original order: other issues in the same appeal may have a different outcome, and this decision does not predict another claim.
What you can do next

- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran has been granted service connection for anxiety disorder, and the Board finds that his current psychiatric disorders are related to his active service. The claim of service connection for PTSD, psychotic disorder, and schizoaffective disorder is denied as there was no evidence provided to support these claims.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate VA examination reports and failure to comply with previous remand directives. The Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder must be remanded for further development.
