Partly granted
The Board granted an initial increased rating of 50 percent for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disability from March 8, 2010, to May 19, 2014, and denied a higher rating thereafter.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity during the relevant periods, but did not meet the criteria for a higher rating at other times.
