Granted
The Veteran was granted a 70 percent disability rating for unspecified trauma and stressor-related disorder with major depressive disorder, recurrent, and alcohol use disorder in early remission, as well as TDIU due to asthma and SMC at the housebound rate.
The deciding factor: The May 2020 VA opinion found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities aggravated his psychiatric condition, warranting a full 70 percent disability rating.
