Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disability, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas such as work, family relations, judgment, thinking, and mood, warranting a 70 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
