Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for TBI with adjustment disorder and mixed anxiety and depressed mood, finding the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas but not total occupational and social impairment as required for a higher rating.
