The Veteran's adjustment disorder with anxiety, depressed mood, and bruxism is rated at 70 percent since September 4, 2014. The claim for TDIU was denied as the Veteran is able to follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran’s service-connected adjustment disorder with anxiety, depressed mood, and bruxism resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood. The rating of 70 percent is appropriate given the severity of her symptoms.
