Granted
The Board granted an initial evaluation of 70 percent for mood disorder with depression and anxiety, but no higher.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood; however, they did not more closely approximate total occupation and social impairment.
