Denied
The Board denied a higher rating for the Veteran's bipolar disorder and remanded issues related to effective dates for TDIU and DEA.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas or total occupational and social impairment, as required for ratings greater than 50 percent and 70 percent respectively.
