Granted
The Board granted a revision of the August 2004 rating decision on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) to reflect an initial 50 percent rating for generalized anxiety disorder, effective July 28, 2003.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's symptoms of anxiety and stress caused her to leave her job, take a break from college, avoid stressful situations, feel overwhelmed, and have sleep impairment, which warranted a higher rating than initially assigned.
