BVA stressed vet didn t have: obsessional rituals which interfere w/ routine activities; speech intermittently illogical, obscure, or irrelevant; near-continuous panic or depression affecting ability to function independently, appropriately & effectively.

15 38 C.F.R GAF Serious symptoms, (e.g. suicidal ideation, severe obsessional rituals, frequent shoplifting) OR any serious impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (e.g. no friends, unable to keep job).
16 NVLSP Screening BVA found as fact vet had social & occupational impairment w/ deficiencies in most areas Exams of 5/06 & 4/08 support 70% evaluation. Assigned GAF scores of 49 then 47. Symptoms very severe especially on 5/06 exam. BVA continued 50% evaluation in spite of GAF scores, in spite of severe symptoms & most importantly in spite of the fact BVA conceded vet suffered social & occupational impairment w/ deficiencies in most areas which is requirement for 70% under There is a good chance for reversal here.
