Granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected unspecified anxiety and depressive disorder, as the evidence demonstrated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate the criteria for a 70 percent rating, including depressed mood, anxiety, chronic sleep impairment, and difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances.
