The Board denied service connection for multiple conditions and a higher disability rating for anxiety disorder, finding that the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for increased ratings or additional service-connected conditions.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's psychiatric disorder and other claimed conditions were found to be insufficiently severe to warrant a higher disability rating or additional service connection based on the evidence of record.

unspecified anxiety disorder with alcohol use disorder and cannabis use disorder, allergic rhinitis, functional abdominal pain syndrome with pain and bloating, hypoesthesia of the right upper extremity, irritable bowel syndrome, restless leg syndrome of the bilateral legs, tremors of the hands, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic sinusitis, obsessive-compulsive disorder
