Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for the Veteran's psychiatric disability but denied increased ratings for headaches, right knee, and left knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The psychiatric disability met the criteria for a 70 percent rating due to symptomatology that caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas. The other conditions did not meet the necessary criteria for higher ratings.
