Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for unspecified trauma and stressor with unspecified depressive disorder, but remanded the issues of a higher rating for right ankle degenerative arthritis and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas due to poor hygiene, poor insight and judgment, and perceptual distortion as well as a disorganized and incoherent thought process.
