Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for PTSD with major depressive disorder and TBI residuals prior to December 30, 2021, but denied a higher rating beginning on that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be productive of occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the relevant period, warranting a 70 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
