Granted
The Board granted an initial 50 percent rating for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, diagnosed as other specified depressive disorder with anxious distress associated with right patellofemoral pain syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record reflects that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is manifested by occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, which is commensurate with a 50 percent rating.
