Denied
The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected psychiatric disability and remanded issues related to back and macular degeneration disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not cause total occupational or social impairment, and there was no evidence supporting a relationship between his current disabilities and military service.
