Granted
The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the 70 percent rating, from October 5, 2020, for an acquired psychiatric disorder is granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran meets the criteria for an initial 70 percent disability rating for his acquired psychiatric disorder due to symptoms such as suicidal ideations and impaired impulse control with unprovoked irritability with periods of violence.
