The Board denied service connection for an eating disorder and granted a 50 percent initial rating for adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, chronic, with insomnia disorder.
The deciding factor: While the Veteran reported symptoms of an eating disorder, there was no current diagnosis to support service connection. However, the evidence showed occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity due to his psychiatric disability, warranting a 50 percent rating.
