Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for the service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder and a total disability rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities, effective December 11, 2024.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, supporting the increased rating and TDIU.
