Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for bipolar disorder with panic disorder without agoraphobia, finding that the Veteran's symptoms warranted this higher evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas due to his psychiatric condition, including work performance issues and strained relationships, which supported the grant of a 70 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
