Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for an initial rating more than 50 percent for an acquired psychiatric disorder and for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability prior to November 7, 2020. The Board needs more information about the veteran's employment history.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's occupational history is relevant to her claim for an increased initial rating for an acquired psychiatric disorder and that the Veteran's employment history is incomplete.
