Granted
The Board granted an increased 70 percent rating for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder based on the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms that more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be more closely approximated by those associated with a 70 percent rating, including difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances and obsessional rituals interfering with routine activities.
