The Board denied the claim for a disability rating in excess of 30 percent for panic disorder with major depressive disorder (claimed as anxiety condition) due to insufficient evidence showing the level of impairment required for a higher rating.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent from January 31, 2018, based on the severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms and their resulting functional impairment.
