Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a left ankle strain and an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for an anxiety disorder, but remanded the claims for a low back disability and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions were given greater weight due to their thorough review of the evidence, while the Veteran's reports regarding her symptoms were found inconsistent and not credible.
