The Veteran's adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood has been granted a 70 percent rating, effective from September 1, 2005.
The deciding factor: The symptoms of the Veteran's adjustment disorder have more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating under the new criteria for neuropsychiatric disabilities.
