Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a separate 70 percent rating for his acquired psychiatric disorder, but the claim for a compensable rating for residuals of TBI was denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity and impact of the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder symptoms, which overlapped with those of his TBI, warranting a higher rating than the current noncompensable rating for the TBI.
