Partly granted
The Board granted an increased initial rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder, but remanded the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were consistent with those associated with a 70 percent rating, including occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
