Granted
The Board granted an initial increased disability rating of 50 percent for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, as the evidence demonstrated occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including depressed mood, anxiety, chronic sleep impairment, and mild memory loss, were found to more closely align with a 50 percent disability rating under the General Formula for Mental Disorders.
