Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the assignment of a 70 percent disability rating for generalized anxiety disorder with panic attacks and panic disorder, as well as for eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence prior to September 19, 2022, that showed an increase in severity of the Veteran's service-connected GAD had occurred, and the Veteran has not been awarded a permanent and total disability rating prior to this date.
