Partly granted
The veteran's request for an increased rating was denied, but they were granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to their psychiatric condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms did not warrant a higher rating than 70 percent but precluded substantially gainful employment.
