Partly granted
The Board granted a rating of 70 percent for anxiety disorder with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a rating of 50 percent for migraines including migraine variants, both effective from October 4, 2018. An earlier effective date for the anxiety disorder was denied, as was a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of anxiety disorder with PTSD and migraines were found to meet the criteria for higher ratings due to their impact on occupational and social functioning.
