Granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for post-traumatic stress disorder with major depressive disorder, moderate recurrent and alcohol use disorder (PTSD) from April 1, 2023 to March 15, 2024, and special monthly compensation (SMC) pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s)(1) for the same period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated total occupational and social impairment during the appeal period, warranting a 100 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
