Partly granted
The veteran's disability rating for an acquired psychiatric disorder was increased to 70% effective November 1, 2019. The veteran was also granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU). However, the appeal for a higher rating before November 1, 2019, and for a rating in excess of 70% after that date were denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity, frequency, and duration of the veteran's psychiatric symptoms and their impact on occupational and social impairment.
