Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for the Veteran's mental health disability from May 17, 2021, to September 20, 2022, but denied a higher rating thereafter.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the specified period, but not after that date.
