The Board granted a disability rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder and TDIU, based on the evidence showing occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms resulted in significant impairment in multiple areas, including family relations, work, mood, and thinking, warranting a 70 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders. The Board also found that the Veteran was unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as a result of his service-connected disabilities.
