Partly granted
The veteran's request for a rating higher than 70% for their psychiatric condition was denied, but they were granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability. The request for special monthly compensation at the housebound rate was also denied.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the Veteran's symptoms did not cause the level of impairment required for a 100 percent disability rating.
