Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disability from June 16, 2024, and denied an increased rating in excess of 30 percent prior to that date. The appeal was also remanded for further development regarding other disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence reasonably showed occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas due to the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disability from June 16, 2024, warranting a 70 percent rating.
