The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for generalized anxiety disorder with insomnia disorder and remanded the claim for an initial compensable rating for premature ventricular contractions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's symptoms resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, which would warrant a higher rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders. The Board also remanded the claim for an initial compensable rating for premature ventricular contractions.
