Granted
The Board granted a total (100 percent) rating for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder from May 1, 2021, to October 31, 2021, due to symptoms causing total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's symptoms increased such that she stopped working in April 2021, during the one-year 'look back' period prior to the filing of her claim for increase in September 2021.
