Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for a psychiatric disability, finding that the Veteran's service-connected condition did not result in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the period of appeal.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed the Veteran was able to maintain relationships and work full-time without significant impairment, contradicting the need for a higher rating.
