The Board granted a disability rating of 50 percent prior to January 1, 2017, and 70 percent thereafter for generalized anxiety disorder, as well as a TDIU from January 1, 2017, to July 31, 2022, but denied a TDIU from August 1, 2022.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas prior to January 1, 2017, and thereafter. From August 1, 2022, her service-connected disabilities did not preclude her from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
