The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for generalized anxiety disorder, finding that the symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be consistent with occupational and social impairment due to mild or transient symptoms without occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks, which does not warrant a rating in excess of 10 percent under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
