Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a 70 percent rating and a higher rating for his psychiatric disorder, as well as a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment, and there was no new and material evidence to reopen the claim prior to July 3, 2023.
