Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disability from October 21, 2012, but denied an earlier effective date and individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of symptoms such as occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, including depressed mood, chronic sleep impairment, and disturbances of motivation and mood.
