Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) as the Veteran's symptoms were found to be no worse than occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's GAD caused any other clinical symptom beyond anxiety and chronic sleep impairment, which corresponded to a 30 percent rating. The Veteran's symptoms were well controlled, and his work history was stable.
