Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher rating for his service-connected unspecified anxiety disorder, finding that the severity of his symptoms did not warrant a rating in excess of 30 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be insufficient to cause occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, as required for a higher rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
