Granted
The Board granted a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD, major depressive disorder, and alcohol use disorder with traumatic brain injury from October 26, 2018, to March 24, 2021, due to the Veteran's symptoms approximating total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including suicidal ideation, incoherent communication, and significant impairment of daily functioning, warranted a 100 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
