The Board granted an increased rating of 50 percent for the period from March 28, 2020 to January 19, 2021 and denied a rating in excess of 50 percent from January 19, 2021 to April 12, 2022. The Board also denied a rating in excess of 70 percent from April 13, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran had occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity for the period March 28, 2020 to January 19, 2021. However, from January 19, 2021 onwards, the probative medical evidence persuaded that a higher rating was not warranted.
