Granted
The Veteran was granted a rating of 70 percent for GAD with AUD prior September 12, 2022, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's GAD with AUD more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, which precluded him from securing or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
