The Board has granted service connection for the Veteran's adjustment disorder with anxiety and assigned a 30 percent rating, effective October 10, 2007. The Veteran's condition is currently shown to be productive of occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks.
The deciding factor: The VA examination findings supported the current disability picture that more closely approximated a 30 percent rating for adjustment disorder with anxiety, which was initially granted by the RO.
