The Board granted restoration of a separate evaluation of 10 percent for fatiguability as a residual of hypothyroidism beginning September 22, 2022, but remanded the other issues.
The deciding factor: The AOJ's combination of the Veteran's separately rated fatigability residual for hypothyroidism with his psychiatric disability residual resulted in impermissible severance of that fatigability residual disability rating.
