The Veteran's service-connected adjustment disorder was granted a rating of 70 percent disabling, but no higher, from September 10, 2018, to May 22, 2019.
The deciding factor: The frequency, duration, and severity of the Veteran's psychiatric symptoms during this period resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas as a result of psychiatric symptomatology, but did not produce more severe manifestations that more nearly approximated total occupational and social impairment.
