Denied
The Board denied higher initial ratings for the Veteran's adjustment disorder, finding that the symptoms did not warrant a rating of 50 percent or higher prior to July 11, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those associated with a 30 percent rating and resulted in occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks.
