Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for PTSD with bipolar disorder prior to August 20, 2020 and denied a rating in excess of 70 percent from that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms most nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the relevant periods, warranting a 70 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders (General Formula).
