The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating for generalized anxiety disorder, finding that the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 70 percent.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but did not meet the criteria for total occupational and social impairment required for a higher rating.
