Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for adjustment disorder with traumatic brain injury and remanded claims for service connection for back, right foot, and neck disorders.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psychiatric symptoms did not result in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a higher rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
