Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for the Veteran's adjustment disorder with depressed mood, finding that her symptoms did not cause total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show symptoms associated with a 100 percent rating, such as gross impairment in thought processes or communication, persistent delusions or hallucinations, or intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living.
