Granted
The Board granted increased initial ratings, earlier effective dates, and service connection for the veteran's unspecified anxiety disorder and obstructive sleep apnea, as well as a total disability rating due to individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on evidence of occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, and the Veteran's inability to secure or follow substantially gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities.
