Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent disability rating for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, unspecified depressive disorder with anxious distress, and insomnia disorder. The issue of an earlier effective date for service connection for PTSD was dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated total occupational and social impairment, warranting a 100 percent rating.
