Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the Veteran's unspecified anxiety disorder and denied service connection for several other conditions, including allergic rhinitis, ingrown toenail on the right big toe, pulmonary hyperinflation, right leg shin splints, and left leg shin splints.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's unspecified anxiety symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, warranting a 50 percent rating. However, there was no evidence to support service connection for the other conditions.
