Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for an acquired psychiatric disability, but not higher, from August 18, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated the level of impairment associated with a 70 percent rating during the appeal period, as he experienced occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity with deficiencies in most areas.
