Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of at least 70 percent for the period prior to July 11, 2022 for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), but remanded issues for a rating in excess of 70 percent and total disability due to individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's GAD was characterized by passive suicidal ideations consistent with at least occupational and social impairment in most areas during the period prior to July 22, 2022, warranting a 70 percent rating.
