Granted
The Board granted the restoration of the 100 percent rating for service-connected unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder, effective February 1, 2024.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examination was found to be inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's course of mental health treatment since the prior May 2020 VA examination. The reduction based on a single examination is void ab initio.
