The Board granted a 100 percent rating for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disability, finding that his symptoms have resulted in total occupational and social impairment during the entire period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's disability has been essentially consistent throughout the period, with intermittent hallucinations, depression, anxiety, recurring thoughts of death, impaired impulse control involving irritability with anger and verbal outbursts, poor hygiene, insomnia, concentration issues, unease and feelings of worthlessness.
