The Board granted an initial disability rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder and a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) effective October 12, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder caused deficiencies in most areas including work, which justified the grant of a 70 percent disability rating. Additionally, the Veteran met the schedular criteria for TDIU due to his acquired psychiatric disorder preventing him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment.
