The Board denied the veteran's claims for a rating greater than 70 percent for an acquired psychiatric disability and entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability prior to August 29, 2018.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the veteran experienced total occupational and social impairment due to his service-connected acquired psychiatric disability or that he was factually ascertainable unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and work history prior to August 29, 2018.
