Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 100 percent for adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, persistent, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor. The claims for service connection for a left shoulder condition, right shoulder condition, and neck pain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated total occupational and social impairment due to persistent danger of hurting self or others, hallucinations, and grossly inappropriate behavior.
